Hi Zoltay

The Maria Theresia, Horst Wessel as well as 31st SS divisions had large percentage of volksdeutsche from Hungary

There were also Hungarian volunteers in SS Jagdverband Suedost

Do you have the book on Hungarian Waffen SS by Dr. Norbert Számvéber? I heard it is the most definitive account on Hungarians in the Waffen SS

Too bad Dr. Számvéber's book has never been translated to English

Hi Panzermahn,
You can get pretty far with Google translator;

When building the website I stuck to the units that are classed as totally Hungarian (saying that even volksdeutsche ended up in Brigade ,,Ney" and possibly other units) There is plenty of information on 22 SS Division and 31 SS Division etc but very little on the Hungarian units. The book by Dr. Norbert Számvéber is included in the information on the website. I spent approximately 8 months translating the entire section on the Hungarian SS (I dont speak Hungarian) and it forms the basis for the website. Unfortunately due to getting a new computer I seem to have miss-placed the original word documents that I had saved the translation to.If you remember you sent me a copy of the memories of a man from ,,Hunyadi" who fought in Berlin. When the website is completed then I will be starting the translation of that and possibly added it to the website (or parts of it if it adds something to the history of the division).

Yeah, it is really a pity that Dr.Szamveber's works still wait for a translation. Norbert is really a nic chap

By the way: 22.SS-Frw.Kav.Div. had no name, so far nobody was able to present an official document using "maria theresia" in connection with this formation

It is a pity that a professional translation of the full book is not available but I have included all the information in the book concerning the Hungarian units on the website. It covers Kampfgruppe Deak, Brigade Ney, Ist Schi Battalion, 1st Sturmjaeger Regiment, Kampfgruppe Szalasi, Hunyadi, Hungaria, the Hungarian Army corps and the Alarm Regiment at Neuhammer. Please visit the site if you already havent.
