The Mhbk Vancouver Chapter Newsletter VOLUME X, ISSUE 1 WINTER 2008 HUNGARIAN MILITARY HISTORY MUSEUM PHOTOGRAPH ARCHIVES THE MHBK VANCOUVER CHAPTER NEWSLETTER Dear Members, I hope you all will like this new format for the Magyar Front – I think that it’s an MAGYAR FRONT improvement and a refreshing change for our tenth year of publication - a little nega- VOLUME X, ISSUE 1 tion with our printer will now allow our publication to be in full colour! Although we WINTER 2008 will always feature material about our organization’s heritage (the Front-Line Fighters’ Association), you will find other information and articles to keep it interesting. Other authors such as Andris Kursietis and Gergely Sallay are contributing material, which will ensure that the Magyar Front will continue to be exciting, as well as informative. I chose to use the two central pages to feature images from old Hungarian military manuals – I have a great deal of diagrams such as these (often very poor quality photocopies), that I will be digitally cleaning up for our newsletter. I look forward to your comments, suggestions and criticism. I also welcome original articles for the Magyar Front, and please let me know if there is anything in particular you would like to read about. If you would like to share interesting military photographs, documents or personal reminiscences, contact me, so we can arrange to feature them in a future issue. In our last issue, I included the letter of proposal to Lt. General Holló of the Military History Institute and Museum. He very graciously replied, and stated: “As I see it, our acquaintance has proved so far that you, just like me, are deeply interested in conserving history and its values to show the next generation… I’m especially happy that the MHBK’s Vancouver Chapter is dedicated to popularizing our history outside of Hungary.” In response to my ideas for initiatives of our working together, he kindly Is published quarterly by offered: “Please forward all your specific questions to me personally and I will, Peter Czink VRNT, Editor depending on their feasibility, make the necessary arrangements.” I will continue to Vancouver Chapter Leader, develop our ideas for cooperation between us and the institution, and will keep you all World Federation of posted.

As I was reading, it struck me very forcefully that all the problems that New Hungarian Voice periodicals. you outline are 100% identical to those affecting the Latvian “exile” community, and in particular the Latvian veterans’ organization Daugavas Vanagi.

If there were more people who shared your outlook, then the MHBK would have a much better future. As a non-Hungarian speaking member of the MHBK, I really appreciate all your efforts. If there is anything that I can do to be of help, please let me know.” Vancouver Chapter member Andris Kursietis, USA “I just wanted to congratulate you on the latest Magyar Front. As you know, I fully agree with the issues you have raised, and the acceptance of English by the “old guard” is well overdue. I was even more impressed with your pro-active approach to Lt. General Holló for co-operation, and I eagerly await his response. It is always a pleasure to see what hurdles you have cleared, and what difficulties you have battled on behalf of those of us who care.” Vancouver Chapter member George Hennessy, Australia 2 P.Cz. Front-Line Fighter Elemér Kertész by Peter Czink VRNT “The name of Elemér Kertész will forever be associated with the Hungarian Front-Line Fighters’ Movement,” writes his biographer in a thumbnail sketch of his life in an old veteran’s yearbook. Recently, I acquired some of this singular gentle- man’s personal documents for my collection – and I thought a good way to start off our 10th year of the new Magyar Front would be to feature a few of them – a snapshot of the life of service of the Editor of the original Magyar Front. Kertész was born on September 12, 1895 in Debrecen. He volunteered for military service at the age of 19 in September of 1914, and he began as a volunteer in the artillery in Nagyvárad – the branch-of-service he stayed with until the end of W.W.I. After initially being stationed at the North-Russian front, he took part in the offensive against Serbia in 1915. He was also at the Lovesen and the Northern-Albania and Montenegro battles. After he recovered from an illness he contracted during battle, he served at the border-mountains of Transylvania, and then along the Piave, where he was at the cease of hostilities. He became a lieutenant on November 1st, 1916 and finished his war A later portrait of Elemér Kertész. His awards include the Honour Badges of the TESz and HONSz organizations, as well as the Italian Order of the Iron Crown service as a First Lieutenant. Based on his exemplary and out- standing military performance, he was promoted to Captain in March of 1935. The disastrous after effects of the War did not discourage Elemér Kertész. He unfailingly trusted in the readiness of his comrades, and in the resurrection of Hungarian national armed forces. Because of his outspoken, patriotic attitude, he was sentenced to death in April of 1919 by the Hungarian Red Forces, but fortunately, he avoided execution. By 1920 he was serving again in the National Forces as First Lieutenant In 1921 he began his service in MOVE (Magyar Országos Véderő Egyesület, or the Hungarian National Defence Force Association), and from then on, until October 5th, 1929, he acted in the capacity of Vice President of the Budapest District and as a MOVE senior administrator. He performed his duties with great distinction. Kertész received the following awards: The Silver Military Merit Medal on War Ribbon with Swords, The Bronze Military Merit Medal on War Ribbon with Swords, The Silver Bravery Medal, The Bronze Bravery Medal, Karl Troop’s Cross, the Hungarian World War I Commemorative Medal and the Austrian World War I Commemorative Medal. He also received the Italian Knight’s Cross of the Order of the Iron CZINK COLLECTION CZINK Crown for his work in establishing relationships between former combatants of the Hungarian and Italian forces.

Under the terms of the Paris Peace Treaty in 1921 it was annexed to the Serbo-Croat-Slovenian Kingdom, that later became Yugoslavia. The new name of this territory, situated to the east of present Croatia, was VOJVODINA (also spelled Voivodina or Voyvodina). Its former Hungarian name had been Bacska and Banat. During World War II, in 1941, Germany occupied Yugoslavia. At the same time, Hungary took possession of and re-annexed VOJVODINA from divided Yugoslavia. At the end of 1944, the Serbs reoccupied Bacska, which has belonged to Serbia ever since.

  • Magyars and Serbs: the 'Southlands'
    Magyars and Serbs: the 'Southlands' The 1941 occupation of the Southlands and the 1942 round up E n ik ő A. Sajti On 10 April 1941, four days after Germany attacked Yugoslavia and the day Croa­ tia seceded from the state, Lt Col. Nenad Krnjajic commander of the 14th Garrison Regiment stationed in the Palic area in the Vojvodina region of Serbia, noted in his regimental journal: "Windy and cloudy; sleet. It is peaceful on our sector of the line. Minor Hungarian troop movements in the border area. On the radio the news is bad everywhere... The Germans broke through at Bela Crkva and are pushing forward... Lt Col. Ruzic, commander of 13th Garrison Regiment, informed me that Lt Col. Ivovnur [a Croat - E.S.], his second-in-command, has deserted."1 The next day, on the orders of Miklós Horthy, the Regent of Hungary, units of the Hungarian Third Army and the Mobile Corps crossed the Hungarian-Yugo- slav border. The main military objective, besides re-annexing the Baóka (Bácska) region to Hungary, was to secure the rear of the German troops, advancing in the direction of Belgrade. That was done without any major engagement with the Yu­ goslav army, and within three days they had recaptured the Danube-Tisza inter­ fluve, the Bács and the southern Baranja 'Triangle', thereby closing the era of Hun­ garian territorial gains. The last sentence of Lt Col. Krnjajic's journal entry for 13 April runs: "As the best solution, I have ordered the destruction of all war material and am dispersing the unit."2 In an autobiographically inspired novel by Attila Balázs, a writer from Vojvo­ dina, István Szilágyi, Hungarian army soldier recalls the reoccupation of Baóka in the following terms: They waited until every single one had closed ranks on the top of the hill, from which a far prospect opened onto the Bácska.

  • The Change of Rule and Reprisals Against the Hungarians in Yugoslavia 1944^1946
    The change of rule and reprisals against the Hungarians in Yugoslavia 1944^1946 ENIKŐ A. SAJTI The Lakatos government in Hungary was considering the idea of forming a Serb defence force to help Hungary to retain Bafka (Bácska) and sent an emissary to the headquarters of Mihailovic to discuss the matter.1 Meanwhile, however, the Yugoslav partisans entered the Banate (Bánát) at the beginning of October, along with the Soviet army. Units of the Eighth Vojvodina Brigade transferred there from Srim (Szerémség) entered Bela Crkva (Fehértemplom) on 1 October and reached Vrsac (Versec) on the following day. On 16 October, the partisan high command moved there, including Tito. He had just reached an agreement with Stalin in Moscow, covering joint military operations of the Yugoslav and Soviet armies on Yugoslav soil. Under that agreement, Tito had received a requested tank division, an undertaking from the Soviets to quit the territory of Yugoslavia after the military operations, and permission for Yugoslav authorities to exercise 1 Lajos Bolla, the Hungarian consul general in Belgrade, wrote in his report on 3 October 1944, "An emissary of ours (a military man) tried recently to reach Mihailovic's head- quarters. This happened just at the time when Tito's bands had made a successful strike on Mihailovic's headquarters in the Ravna Gora mountains. Our emissary told me that as a result of the attack, he failed to reach his desired destination and had to make a 35-km night-time journey through the pathless mountains, partly on foot. Fur- thermore, he found himself in an extremely dangerous situation in a village near Gornji Milanovac, when Mihailovic's men began to act in a threatening way towards him, so that only after strong representations by him and the Mihailovic officer accom- panying him could he continue his journey.

    P Á L THE WAR CRIMES About the Author PRITZ TRIAL OF Pál Pritz is professor of history at Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest. His specialty is HUNGARIAN diplomatic history. He is the author of a number of mono- graphs published in Hungarian. PRIME MINISTER The László Bárdossy Prime W ar Crimes Minister P Á L P R I T Z T rial László of Hungarian Bárdossy Jacket design: Gábor Kun Photographs: Sándor Bojár SSM PROLOGUE At the end of June 1945 Mátyás Rákosi went to Moscow for consultation, instructions and political discussions. While there, he lectured on the situation in Hungary at the Department of International Information (OMI) of the Central Committee of the Sovi- et Communist Party. The department head, Georgi Dimitrov, asked a number of questions. He queried his guest as to why no people’s tri- bunals were established for the conviction of the so called fascists. “The fascist leaders have all escaped,” replied Rákosi. “Not a sin- gle fascist minister or secretary of state remained in Hungary….The most prominent fascists are in British or American captivity and they are in no hurry to extradite them.” Dimitrov was not satisfied with this explanation and added that it was readily understandable that the Bri- tish and the Americans were in no hurry but that it was incomprehensi- ble why this was not the central theme of the Hungarian media and of Hungarian political discourse. Rákosi did not accept the criticism. I refer to this in every one of my speeches and the Communist Party publications constantly write about it.

Tamás Hoffmann Centre for Social Sciences Institute for Legal Studies, Magyar Tudomanyos Akademia, Budapest [email protected] Received: 16 March 2018; Revised: 20 July 2018; Accepted: 28 September 2018; published online: 01 July 2019 Abstract Crimes against humanity is one of the core crimes in international criminal law, whose existence is treated as a natural reaction to mass atrocities. This idea of linear prog- ress is challenged by this article, which demonstrates that in post-Second World War Hungary an alternative approach was developed to prosecute human rights violation committed against civilian populations. Even though this concept was eventually used as a political weapon by the Communist Party, it had long-lasting effects on the pros- ecution of international crimes in Hungary.

  • Operation Typhoon
    Operation Typhoon In October 1941 Hitler launched Operation Typhoon, the German drive to capture Moscow and knock the Soviet Union out of the war. As the last chance to escape the dire implications of a winter campaign, Hitler directed seventy-five German divisions, almost two million men and three of Germany’s four panzer groups into the offensive, resulting in huge victories at Viaz’ma and Briansk – among the biggest battles of World War II. David Stahel’s groundbreaking new account of Operation Typhoon captures the perspectives of both the German high command and individual soldiers, revealing that, despite success on the battlefield, the wider German war effort was in far greater trouble than is often acknowledged. Germany’s hopes of final victory depended on the success of the October offensive but the autumn conditions and the stubborn resistance of the Red Army ensured that the capture of Moscow was anything but certain. David Stahel is a lecturer at the University of New South Wales in Canberra. His previous publications include Operation Barbarossa and Germany’s Defeat in the East (2009), Kiev 1941 (2011)andNazi Policy on the Eastern Front, 1941 (2012).
