hi,

okay i missed that sorry :)

Please go into details Pisti, i do not know any battle with the US Army at Hamburg.

hi The Hungarian W-SS troops were formed to fight exlusively against the Red Army: Die freiwillige Meldung verpflichtet nur zum Dienst in dieser Division. Da die Division prinzipiell nur zur Verteidigung des ungarischen Vaterlandes eingesetzt wird, sollen alle Kommandeure ihren Einfluß dahin geltend...

hi, was the 31.SS Freiwilge Division made of Czechs or what? hi, unfortunately that is absolutely false, see Pencz, Rudolf: For the Homeland! The History of the 31st Waffen-SS Volunteer Grenadier Division Solihull, UK: Helion & Company, 2002 75% of the enl. men were volksdeutsche from Bácska (~...

Landwehr was a pioneer for presenting material on the more obscure units of the SS. But the more I actually acquire German-language material on these units, the more I realize that he often was merely the translator of German-language secondary works that he failed to credit as the original source....

Maybe some artillery units were attached but perhaps not in under-regimental level. So possibly you are right :)

Excellent "sammlung" :)

If I am right: SS II/61 is - SS unit - II. Battalion - 61. Regiment If this solution is OK then the unit was under the 25. Waffen-Grenadier-Division der SS "Hunyadi", Waffen-Grenadier-Regiment der SS 61 What is your resorurce? Maybe you found some relics? Of course it can happen that this ...

Hi,

Ábel: May i update my website's link? http://philosophy.elte.hu/~jhardi/ss/

Jan: Please think over updating your data on 26.WGDdSS "Hungaria" - it is not, not, not, not "Gömbös" in any way :)

Janos

The hungarian division "Gömbös" never raised! Do not confuse the name of the 26. WGDdSS "Hungaria" with this. Gömbös refers to Gyula Gömbös, a hungarian right wing politician and prime minister.

if i am right just a smaller unit fought here (i saw a map and a kriegsgliederung from the end of 2.1945): a Kampfgruppe formed from the 20. Waffen-Grenadier-Division der SS. Unfortunately i do not know the exact composition of this KGr.

Hi, I think he was absolutely good strategic thinker and commander. He was the CO of Hungarian Mil. Academy "Ludovika" as well...:) By the way: he was a volksdeutsche; and his loyalty to Horthy and the german army were undoubtable. His crime was "only" that he could not accept an...

Hi, Not breaking the line... I hope:) The Hungarian élite - from the known German point of view (Friessner etc.): - Artillery, field and anti-aircraft, - Air Force, fighters, - Some units from the 2nd and 3rd Army. from the Hungarian point of view: - Armoured Divisions, esp. 1th Arm. Div. (from Eszt...

Hi, Some comments: 1. There was an over-all confict between the Szálasi Mil. Ministry and the SSFHA concerning the two hungarian SS Divisions (from the beginnings!). There were parallel Div. Staffs, training officers etc. There were conflicting orders from SSFHA, Beregfy (Mil. minister) and Szálasi ...
