The Slovakian uprising had begun to unravel in the face of strong German counterattacks. Key to establishing a defensive line was control of the neighboring towns of Vrutky and Klacany, which remained in German hands despite repeated attacks. Augmented with several ex-German tanks and assistance from partisans, the Slovakians made one more attempt.

Vrutky, Slovakia

The Slovak National Uprising (Slovak: Slovenské národné povstanie, abbreviated SNP) was an armed insurrection organized by the Slovak resistance movement during World War II. This resistance movement was represented mainly by the members of the Democratic Party, but also by social democrats and Communists, albeit on a smaller scale. It was launched on 29 August 1944 from Banská Bystrica in an attempt to resist German troops that had occupied Slovak territory and to overthrow the collaborationist government of Jozef Tiso. Although the resistance was largely defeated by German forces, guerrilla operations continued until the Red Army, Czechoslovak Army and Romanian Army liberated Fascist Slovakia in 1945.
