Weather: frost at night, temperature 6°C during the day.
Alternating sunny and cloudy periods, little rain.
The roads were drying up.

Now the Soviets put up extremely heavy resistance in their remaining bridgehead.
The 1.
SS-Panzer-Division and 46.
Infanterie Division were cleaning in and around Köhidgyarmat, and a SS-Kampfgruppe occupied the road junction between Kéménd and Köhidgyarmat on the bank of the Párizs Canal.
The 46.
Infanterie Division, reinforced by Gruppe Schöneich occupied Bibit-Puszta and even pushed 1 km further, but in the evening the Soviets counterattacked and regained the area.

The 12.
SS-Panzer-Division started at 04.45 h with its attack on Bart, with the two SS-Panzergrenadier Regiments abreast, followed by the Panzers.
Heavy fighting took place, but a dashing advance of the halftracks (especially thanks to firepower of the single and triple barreled 2 cm guns in a part of them) got the grenadiers into the town.
Some T-34’s were putting up resistance, but when the Soviet tankers were abandoned by their infantry, they departed toward Bény.
Still some counterattacks were carried out, but could be repulsed.
Elements from the 211.
Volksgrenadier Division attacked Bart from the south.
In the course of the morning, the village was completely cleared.
During the day, the 6.
SS-Panzerarmee requested to withdraw its armored units from the bridgehead, but this was rejected by Heeresgruppe Süd .
This day recorded also one of the few successes of the Luftwaffe in the air.
An “ace”, Hauptmann Helmut Lipfert, was just appointed as Gruppenkommandeur (Wingcommander) of I./JG 53 (based in Hungary) on 15 February 1945.
On the 22nd he scored his 180th and 181st victories in his Bf 109G, resp.
a La-5 over Bart and a Yak-3 over Bény.
