Absztrakt :
The role of the Royal Hungarian Army in the Second World War was determined by the political constraints of the Kingdom of Hungary and its limited economic opportunities. The situation of the German troops on the Eastern Front – after their initial successes – demanded a greater involvement of Hungarian troops in the war. The Hungarian Government reluctantly set up the 2nd Hungarian Army, which immediately joined the German forces after its deployment. The story of the Second Army has been one of the saddest chapters in Hungarian military history.
