The 5. SS Pazer Division Wiking is heading to Budapest in January 1945. In late December 1944, Wiking and Totenkopf grouped together in IV. SS-Panzerkorps were removed from Warsaw sector and rushed to Hungary in an attempt to rescue the besieged city of Budapest and its garrison. They began their efforts at the beginning of January 1945, and got to within 24km (15 miles) of Budapest before the arrival of the last Soviet reserves, stopped them in their tracks, and in turn launched a counterattack which forced IV. SS-Panzerkorps on to the defensive.
