Scenario Description
Nestled in the picturesque Hron Valley, the communication center of Telgart was a key objective for the uprising in central Slovakia. As the insurgency gained successes in the center, both the Slovak regular forces and partisan groups gained confidence. Experienced officers and NCOs were in short supply all over, but one leader stood out on the Slovak side. Former French Legionnaire Captain Jan Stefanik was a reported authoritarian, but also personally fearless. On 5 September, he led his two battalions and company of light tanks in an attack on Telgart, hoping to capture the city and link up with the advancing Red Army.
Location
Telgart, Slovakia
Battle Narrative
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.
