Overview:
Driven back south of Komon during the third week of March, the “Das Reich” Panzer Division struggled to establish a new defensive line in Austria. On the 28th, the Division had five PzIV, two Panthers, five SP guns, two or three Tigers and few heavy antitank guns, all barely in combat fit condition as the SS retreated northwest toward Vienna. On their heels was the 9th Guards Mechanized Corps with orders to seize the bridges across the Danube canal and crush the German bridgehead within the Parkland of the Prater. For the SS, the bridges across the Danube needed to be held open as an escape route for the retreating 4th Panzer Division as well as refugees. By April 9th, the depleted but still determined grenadier regiments, fortified the houses and dug trenches in the sports arenas and open ground which lay in their sectors.Attacker: Russian (Tolbukhin's 9th Guards Mechanized Corps)
Defender: German (SS) (Elements of 2-SS-Panzer Division "Das Reich" and reinforcing elements of Panzer-Kompanie 2)
