'Waldteufel' was a German operation against the forces of Marshal Josip Broz Tito in Axis-occupied Yugoslavia (6/8 March 1945).

The operation was planned and controlled by General Werner von Erdmannsdorff’s LXXXXI Corps as part of the 'Frühlingserwachen' (ii) final German offensive in Hungary, and was intended to cross the Drava river and create bridgeheads on the river’s eastern side at Donji Miholjac and Valpovo, thereby opening the way for an advance toward Mohács in southern Hungary in support of the main effort farther to the north by General Otto Wöhler’s Heeresgruppe 'Süd'.

The Yugoslav forces involved in this wholly German undertaking were the 12^th, 16^th, 36^th and 51^st Assault Divisions.

Generalleutnant Kohler’s 11^th Felddivision (L) crossed the Drava river near Valpovo and together with Generalleutnant Hellmuth von Pannwitz’s 1^st Kosaken-Kavalleriedivision advanced in the direction of Bolman and Torjanci. Near Donji Miholjac Generalleutnant Hartwig von Ludwiger’s 104^th Jägerdivision and Generalleutnant Albrecht Baier’s 297^th Division crossed the Drava river into Hungary and inflicted heavy losses on General Polkovnik Vladimir Dmitrov Stoychev’s Bulgarian 1^st Army. Each of these bridgeheads had been extended to depth of up to 5 miles (8 km) before a counterattack by the Yugoslav 3^rd Army drove the 1^st Kosaken-Kavalleriedivision and 11^th Felddivision (L) back across the Drava river, while a counter-offensive by elements of Marshal Sovetskogo Soyuza Fyedor I. Tolbukhin’s Soviet 3^rd Ukrainian Front similarly drove back the 104^th Jägerdivision and 297^th Division.
