Edmund Veesenmayer nevezetes jelentése
Edmund Veesenmayer Report from December 10, 1943 on Hungary’s Political Situation and His Proposals for the Appointment of a New Government

Summary/Abstract: A thousand-page volume containing the national-socialist Germany’s foreign policy documents related to Hungary was published in 1968. Even before the book release, rumour held it that the book will contain a text that will finally hold a true mirror to Hungarians. It was the document mentioned in the title of this essay. However, using the methods of source criticism, the author proves that Veesenmayer’s report was prepared as a weapon of war. It is the work of a fanatic devotee of an empire at the eve of destruction, intended to postpone the downfall through maximally exploiting (also) the Hungarian resources. His (caricaturist) image of Hungarians, along with its true elements, is an often-cited topos of Hungary’s opponents/enemies.
