Introduction |
---|
The Hungarian Danube Flotilla committed its small gunboats to offer fire support to the defenders of Budapest, and the lone German river monitor joined them. The Soviets did not challenge them, but had they done so, the small Axis flotilla would have been at a serious disadvantage. |
Conclusion |
---|
The German monitor Bechlaren would actually attack and sink two Soviet armored cutters in the war’s last weeks, but no large-scale fighting took place on the river. The Hungarian gunboat Debrecen was lost in late November in a shootout with Soviet T-34 tanks, but the Soviet monitors did not attempt to intervene at Budapest. They did appear at Vienna in 1945, providing fire support from the Danube during the Soviet capture of the Austrian capital. |
