'''Operation Spring Awakening''' was the last major [[German]] offensive operation of [[World War II]]. The operation began in [[Hungary]] on March 6 1945, and was spearheaded by Waffen [[SS]] troops, including [[Adolf Hitler]]'s bodyguard division, the SS [[Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler]].
The Germans achieved some success early in the offensive. On March 16, [[Soviet Union]] forces of the [[Red Army]] led by Marshal [[Fyodor Tolbukhin]] began a large counterattack. The Germans were driven back, suffering many casualties and by March 30 the Soviets were advancing from Hungary into [[Austria]]. Hitler was angered by the failure of his troops and the success of the Soviets.
