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.
