1 Hungarian SS Troopers Regiment


1 The Ungarische SS-Sturmjäger Regiment is a volunteer military unit of the Waffen-SS, made up of Hungarians at the end of World War II.

The regiment was created on 8 January 1945 in Hungary. It was headed by SS-Sturmbannführer Kelemen Ridegh. There were about 5,000 soldiers from the 1st and 2nd Hungarian Ski Battalions and consisted of I and II SS-Sturmjäger-Bataillon (commanders: SS-Hauptsturmführer Tamás von Barn and SS-Hauptsturmführer A. Lenk) and support and service subdivisions. He was assigned to the Fourth Armored Corps of the SS, in which he was engaged in heavy fighting with the Red Army. During the retreat in March 1945, the individual subordinates lost contact with each other, acting independently. Most of the Hungarians surrendered in early May 1945 to the Americans. Bibliography
