Summary/Abstract: The article reviews and discusses wide range of memories and reports relating to the fights for the Przemyśl Fortress published before 1945 in the Hungarian language. These sources so far have been neglected in the historiography of Przemyśl’s Fortress – despite the importance of Hungarian formations to the defence of the fortress. Simultaneously, the article tries to discuss them from your point of view their strong emotional, often chauvinistic and political (most obviously anti-Trianon) dimensions, which was part of the nationalist and revisionist projects characteristic for Hungary’s politics in the interwar period.
