The last Nazi military victory

Описание: Discover the last major Nazi victory of World War II – the Battle of Bautzen. In April 1945, as Soviet and Polish forces pushed westward towards Berlin, the Germans launched one final counterattack in a desperate attempt to slow their advance. The remnants of the German 4th Panzer Army, supported by the elite Hermann Göring Panzer Division, capitalized on a gap in the overextended Polish Second Army’s lines.

On April 21, 1945, intense street fighting erupted in and around the town of Bautzen. German forces swiftly retook the town and encircled several Polish divisions, nearly annihilating the 5th Infantry Division. While the Germans inflicted heavy casualties and briefly drove back the Soviet and Polish troops, their success was short-lived. By April 26, Soviet reinforcements arrived, stabilizing the front and ending any hope of a German breakthrough.

Though Bautzen remained under German control until the war’s end, this fleeting victory couldn’t change the inevitable collapse of Nazi Germany just days later. This video delves into the tactics, the chaos of the battle, and the brief German triumph before the fall of Berlin.

Perfect for WWII history enthusiasts, this video gives a tactical breakdown of the Wehrmacht’s final gasp before the war came to a close.
