Description

German military map series covering Hungary and territories annexed to Hungary in 1939-1940. Sheets were produced in September 1944, likely a response to the advance of Red Army military forces to the borders of Hungary, and also in preparation for Operation Panzerfaust, the military occupation of Hungary by German forces, conducted in October 1944.
