The 6th Panzer Army was a panzer army of the German Wehrmacht during World War II, active from the autumn of 1944 to 8 May 1945, under the command of Sepp Dietrich. The 6th Panzer Army was composed largely of Waffen-SS divisions, and it was composed of the 1st SS Panzer Division Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler, the 3rd SS Panzer Division Totenkopf, the 12th SS Panzer Division Hitlerjugend, the Fuhrer Grenadier Brigade, the German 117th Jaeger Division, the German 356th Infantry Division, the German 710th Infantry Division, and the German 10th Parachute Division. The army was first used as an offensive force during the Battle of the Bulge, in which it was the northernmost element of the German offensive. In early 1945, the army was transferred to Hungary, but, by this time, the army was undersupplied; Dietrich quipped "We call ourselves the '6th Panzer Army' because we've only got 6 panzers left." The army was used in both offensive and defensive actions in Hungary, and its final battles were fought in Austria. On 2 April 1945, the army became an SS panzer army, and it fought against the Soviet Vienna Offensive before surrendering between Vienna and Linz in May 1945.
