Samenvatting
Beschrijving
At the end of World War II, Germany launched three major offensives in Hungary to preserve the Third Reich’s control over the strategically vital oilfields of Nagykanizsa. Hitler was obsessed with this operation and transferred the 6th SS Panzer Army from other weakening German fronts to assist. It was an operation that optimistically planned to capture oilfields in Romania eventually. Tragically, the success of this operation helped the SS Commander of the region, Adolf Eichmann, finish his liquidation of the Hungarian Jewish community, the last remaining Jewish community in Europe.
