Introduction |
---|
The Soviet offensive that opened with the new year quickly swept across Poland and into western Slovakia. Around the town of Ruzemberok in the high valley of the Biely Vah river, just below the height of the Tatra mountains, the 3rd Mountain Division faced repeated assaults. The Soviet 18th Army sought to break through into the Slovak plain and to liberate the Tatras, a powerful symbol to the Slovak people. |
Conclusion |
---|
The jägers fought off repeated waves of attackers, and according to the German Army's order of the day, "yielded not one meter." The Soviets could tell the Reich's end was near and fought to keep their offensive going, but now that the mountain divisions fought in familiar terrain they proved impossible to dislodge. |
