YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Hungary became a part of the Triparte Pact in November 1940 and was now one of the Axis Powers. This is how the story of Hungary during WW2 began. This didn't automatically mean the country hád to take part in the German invasion of the USSR. Yet, Hungary did take part in Operation Barbarossa. Why did the Royal Hungarian Army (Magyar Királyi Honvédség) cross the border into the Soviet Union. Actually, it wasn't the first act of military aggression. After the German invasion of Yugoslavia the Hungarian troops also marched in and took some territories. The bombing of Kassa was the direct cause for Hungary to invade the Soviet Union.
