The aforementioned work refers to the prerequisites, progress and consequences of the last victorious battle of the Hungarian revolution and the fights for freedom during the years of 1848-1849. The battle took place in the vicinity of Komárno on the 3 August, only 10 days before capitulation of the main corps of the Hungarian army at Világoš. The commander of the Komárno fortress, Juraj Klapka, in co-operation with the commander-in-chief of the general staff Peter Szillányi, designed plans to break the siege on the Komárno fortresses, surrounded by the units of the Austrian army. Klapka intended to defeat all the units of the Austrian army in the vicinity of Komárno one-by-one. The final phase of the detailed plans was the attack at the right riverbank of the Danube river on the 3rd of August, which was meant to achieve the possible siege, capture or destruction of the Barco’s brigade. Almost all of Klapka’s plans were met; he managed to defeat the enemy and to wipe him out of the broader vicinity of Komárno. In doing so, he cut the connection line between the Austrian army that fought in the south of Hungary and Vienna, but he could not prevent the defeat of the main corps of the Hungarian army and capitulation of the arms.
