26th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (2nd Hungarian)
The 26th ''Waffen'' Grenadier Division of the SS (2nd Hungarian) ((ドイツ語:26. Waffen-Grenadier-Division der SS (ungarische Nr.2.))) was a short-lived infantry division of the ''Waffen''-SS, an armed branch of the German Nazi Party that served alongside but was never formally part of the Wehrmacht during World War II. Established in November 1944 following the German overthrow of the Hungarian regime of Miklós Horthy, it was never properly formed, trained, or equipped, and after being evacuated from its training camp in the face of the advancing Soviet Red Army, it surrendered to the United States Army in Austria in May 1945.
==History==
The division was authorised in November 1944, following the German overthrow of the Hungarian regime of Miklós Horthy, and was designated 26. ''Waffen'' Grenadier Division der SS (ungarische Nr.2.) on 27 December 1944. By the time it was given this designation, it had reached a strength of 8,000, comprising 3,000 former Royal Hungarian Army troops, along with 5,000 civilian conscripts. The division was sent to be trained and equipped at Schieratz in Reichsgau Wartheland (German-annexed Poland). By this time, it had a "paper" strength of 13,000, of which 10,000 were civilian conscripts yet to be issued weapons or uniforms. In early January 1945, it was issued with some heavy weapons, but these were confiscated by elements of the German 9th Army to help them oppose the Soviet Red Army Vistula–Oder Offensive launched in mid-January. Around the same time, while scavenging for food, members of the division came under occasional attack by elements of the Polish Home Army. According to some sources, the division was granted the title ''Hungaria'' on 29 January 1945.
With the approach of the Russians, the division withdrew behind the Oder, losing around 2,500 casualties. The division then joined its sister division, the 25th ''Waffen'' Grenadier Division of the SS ''Hunyadi'' (1st Hungarian) at its training camp, Neuhammer. Further Soviet advances resulted in the division being evacuated, along with its sister division, to Austria. Elements of the division joined a ''kampfgruppe'' left behind as a rearguard at Neuhammer, which was destroyed. During 3–5 May 1945, the remaining elements of the division surrendered to the U.S. Third Army near the Attersee. No special insignia was manufactured for the division.
