Unke-Nikolaus company
Company Unke-Nikolaus was the code name of a German military special company during World War II . It was to be carried out in Budapest between late 1944 and early 1945.
Combat mission
In the battle for Budapest the Hungarian capital was declared a fortress , but could not be held against the Red Army . According to the planning of the front reconnaissance command 206 , recruited local special forces were to remain camouflaged as so-called "residents" in the city (project part "Toad") in order to carry out espionage and sabotage measures against the Soviet troops. In addition, they should register and report the movements of the armies and provide safe quarters. The resident's German liaison officers were to be channeled through the front in due course or dropped nearby by parachute jump.
implementation
For this purpose, a total of 37 parcels with explosive material were hidden in 19 camouflaged places in the city area (project part "Nikolaus"), and boxes with fire accelerators were deposited in five other locations. These funds were intended to be used by residents to commit acts of sabotage on the transport infrastructure and certain public buildings. Whether and with what success the company was carried out is unknown.
