A Lesser-Known Episode of the Battle of Torda/Turda: The Battles of the 1st Mountain Field Reserve Brigade in the Gyalui/Gilăului Mountains in September 1944

Summary/Abstract: The 1st Mountain Field Reserve Brigade, established by the Royal Hungarian 1st Mountain Brigade based in Beszterce/Bistrița at the end of August 1944, participated in the so-called Battle of Torda/Turda between September 13 and October 8, 1944. This forgotten unit covered the right flank of the 25th Infantry Division and the 2nd Armored Division, which were fighting in the main direction, in the Gyalui/Gilăului Mountains. The brigade, poorly equipped and lacking vehicles, fought both regular and irregular Romanian units, as well as Soviet rifle troops, on extremely difficult terrain. By mid-October 1944, the brigade was almost completely decimated in the unequal struggle, but the steadfastness of its soldiers contributed to preventing the attackers from encircling the Hungarian 2nd Army’s forces fighting at Torda/Turda from the west.
