I recently acquired a photo heritage with some quite unique photos from the 1944/45 retreat and end of WW2. I have never seen such emotional and detailed photos from the last days of the war and that intensive period in the history of Europe.
I will try to publish some of this material here on Tűzkereszt History as I proceed to scan this material.

This photograph above, was taken somewere in the mountains of Transylvania as a Hungarian border-guard regiment were retreating towards Hungary.
