Please don’t get me wrong, @setesch, I do not know whether sPzAbtg 503 or 509 were Heer or Waffen SS … (and didn’t presume to say) … I just found them in an OOB listing for the Spring Awakening / Lake Balaton. In fact, @piers doesn’t even say whether he’s doing this battle in particular, I just see “Königstigers in Hungary” and … come on, 99/100 we’re talking about Lake Balaton. 😀

6th SS Panzer Army was the main parent unit of that attack, but as we see on the RKKA map above, there are plenty of non-SS units grouped in there for their attack (at just one glance, without even zooming in I’m looking at 44th Infantry, 23rd Panzer, 356th Infantry, 3rd Panzer, 1st Panzer …) although I’m sure these were mostly skeletal kampfgruppe by this time.

And of course it looks like 2nd Panzer Army was trying to launch some kind of supporting attack from the south of Lake Balaton. Not nearly as strong, looking at this they didn’t make very much progress at all.
