Hungarian Soldiers POW
I'm willing to know where I can find some data about where the Hungarian soldiers were captured on German soil, during the end of the wwII, mainly by american and french troops.

Hungarian POW
Many thanks to Milan by his answer concerned to the Hungarian troops field distribution and join battle held with the German troops.
But I'm still wondering where the Hungarian troops were kept prisioners by the American and French troops, I have one reference from my father, who was held at the Brezenheim POW camp, located at the city of Bad Kreuznach, Germany.
What I'm trying to have is some additional confirmation of this fact.
Can anybody help me with this?

Hungarian Soldiers POW
Recently I found a site about the American POW camps, which is the following:www.rheinwiesenlager.de/Bretzenheim.htm, which is in German language, which means for me, that I'll need a litle more time to get through it, because I do not know the German language so well.
