Budapest Offensive The Budapest Offensive was the general attack by Soviet and Romanian Army against Nazi Germany and their Axis allies from Hungary . The offensive lasted from 29 October 1944 until the fall of Budapest on 13 February 1945 . This was one of the most difficult and complicated offensives that the Soviet Army carried on at Middle Europe . The offensive was also a decisive victory for the USSR as it disabled the last European political ally of Nazi Germany and greatly sped up the process of ending World War II in Europe . According to the Soviet historical documents , the Budapest Offensive can be divided into five periods : After the Budapest offensive , the main forces of Army Group South virtually collapsed . The road to Vienna , Czechoslovakia and the southern border of Germany was widely open for the Soviets and their allies . Prelude . Having secured Romania in the summer Jassy – Kishinev Offensive , the Soviet forces continued their push in the Balkans . The Red Army occupied Bucharest on 31 August and then swept westward across the Carpathian Mountains into Hungary and southward into Bulgaria . In the process , the Red Army ’ s forces drew German reserves away from the Warsaw - Berlin central axis , encircled and destroyed the German 6 . " Armee " ( for the second time ) and forced Army Group South Ukraine ’ s shattered 8 . " Armee " to withdraw west into Hungary . The offensive . From October 1944 , the 2nd , 3rd , and 4th Ukrainian Front s advanced into Hungary . After isolating the Hungarian capital city in late December , the Soviets besieged and assaulted Budapest .

While this destroyed most of the German forces in the region , troops were rushed from the Western Front and , in March , the Germans launched the ill fated Operation Spring Awakening ( " Unternehmen Frühlingserwachen " ) in the Lake Balaton area . The expansive goals of this operation were to protect one of the last oil producing regions available to the Axis and to retake Budapest . Neither goal was achieved . In the same period , the Soviets also advanced into Yugoslavia and defeated German forces in the Belgrade Offensive , in cooperation with Yugoslav partisans . According to Soviet claims , the Germans and Hungarians in Budapest lost 49 , 000 dead soldiers , with 110 , 000 captured and 269 tanks destroyed .
