In December 1944, while the Eastern Front was collapsing, Hitler made a fateful decision: Budapest must be held at all costs. This led to a 50-day siege that would consume Germany's last elite Panzer reserves and directly enable the Soviet advance on Berlin. On February 11, 1945, 20,000 trapped soldiers attempted a desperate breakout — only 700 reached safety, a 3.5% survival rate that shocked even hardened commanders.
In this video, you'll learn about:
► Why Hungary's oil fields were vital to Germany's survival
► How the 4th SS Panzer Corps was diverted from defending Berlin
► The three failed relief attempts that cost irreplaceable veteran crews
► Why only 700 of 20,000 escapees survived the breakout
► How this siege directly enabled the Soviet advance on Germany
From strategic miscalculation to tactical disaster, this is the story of how defending one city cost Germany its capital.
