Operation Spring Awakening (Unternehmen Frühlingserwachen)
was the last major German offensive launched during
World War II. The offensive was launched in Hungary on
the Eastern Front. This offensive was also known in
German as the Plattensee Offensive, in Russian as the
Balaton Defensive Operation, and in English as the
Lake Balaton Offensive.
The offensive was launched by the Germans in great
secrecy on 6 March 1945. The German attacks were
centered in the Lake Balaton area. This area included
some of the last oil reserves still available to
the Germans.
Operation Spring Awakening involved many German
units withdrawn from the failed Ardennes Offensive on
the Western Front including the 6th SS Panzer Army.
Prepare yourselves for fast paced action as the
battle for central Europe rages in the last stages
of the war!
