The first major campaign the Royal Hungarian Army fought against the
Red Army in Ukraine from July until November of 1941.
The Barbarossa campaign started on 22 June 1941, pitting the forces of
the Soviet Union against those of the Third Reich and its allies.
Hungary was among the less willing allies who participated on the side
of the Germans. The Hungarian involvement during the first phase of the
war against the Soviet Union was minimal. On the other hand, the
Hungarian committed their most modern, partially motorized units - the
Mobile Corps and the elite mountain jagers and border guard troops of
the VIII Corps and the selected units of the Royal Hungarian Air
Force.
This lavishly illustrated book will show what war meant for ordinary
soldiers and civilians from the Hungarian perspective in 1941.
