They Left 600 Wounded Behind. What Happened Next Was Unthinkable

They Left 600 Wounded Behind. What Happened Next Was Unthinkable On the night of February 11, 1945, 17,000 German soldiers attempted to break out of the Soviet encirclement of Budapest. They moved through the ruins of a destroyed city in total darkness and dense fog, carrying their wounded, accompanied by thousands of desperate civilians. The Soviets were waiting. What followed was one of the most catastrophic military breakouts of the entire Second World War. Of 17,000 men who left that night, only 785 reached safety. This is the story of that night — told through the eyes of one soldier who walked into the dark and came out the other side. A former schoolteacher. A man who collected pistols from wounded soldiers every night so they wouldn't use them on themselves. A man who had to leave his closest friend in the snow on a hillside and keep walking. This is not a story about victory. It is a story about what men carry, and what they leave behind.
