The Germans resume their break-out attempt from Buda. A force of nearly 16,000 men reach the hills around Perbal before they are halted by units of the 46th Army. More than 12,000 have been killed or captured inside the city. The remnants of Pfeffer-Wildenbruch's group continue to fight on in the sewers.
