hucks216 Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 Usually I collect German Soldbücher & Wehpässe but a couple of weeks ago I saw this Hungarian example and liked the photo in it (and it was cheap) so thought that I would go off on a tangent with regards to the collection and buy it. It is dated for 1944 and while I have no knowledge of the language I don't think it mentions any units that he was assigned to. I think it just contains personnel information but I could be wrong - and if I am I would be grateful for any information. These are the only pages with entries.

hucks216 Posted May 2, 2015 Author Posted May 2, 2015 That is great, many thanks for translating the entries and especially revealing his unit. It is much appreciated.
leigh kitchen Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 Interesting, I don't have a Hungarian, I have Czech, "Yugo" & Rumanian ones to men who were later in the W-SS.I've always liked documentation with photos, they add another dimension to paperwork, medal groups etc.

leigh kitchen Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) I checked the interweb some years ago. the village of my yugo army & W-SS man. I think it was just inside the Austrian border. There were a couple of addresses there with occupants of his surname. I didn't post those details given his W-SS service. come to think of it I don't think I posted a thread on the books.
