Budapest:
The Stalingrad of the Waffen-SS
by Richard Landwehr
A Siegrunen/Merriam Press Original Publication
Siegrunen Monograph SR2
The battle for Budapest was the culmination of three and a half years of bitter, unequal struggle against Soviet Bolshevism and its capitalist allies.
The Waffen-SS troops involved constituted the backbone of the defensive effort and took the severest losses.
For IX SS Corps and the "Florian Geyer" and "Maria Theresia" Cavalry Divisions, Budapest was another Stalingrad. "Maria Theresia" in particular had the unfortunate distinction of being the only large formation of the Waffen-SS to be almost totally obliterated.
This work details the vicious struggle from beginning to end, a struggle in which 40,000 defenders tied up almost half a million Soviet combat and support troops, buying the Germans much needed time.

Reviews and Testimonials
I have just been for a week in Budapest (lovely city, lovely people including some of the most gorgeous women I've ever met) and it was very interesting to check out the streets that Richard Landwehr mentions in Budapest. The information he provides [in all his works] is simply exceptional, often covering subjects that other authors do not even mention!
