The aim of this volume is to shed light on a little known controversy about the deportation of the Jews of Budapest.: did a unit of the Hungarian army prevent the deportation of the remaining close to 300 000 Jewish Hungarians, living in Budapest, to the Nazi death camps? States that Lieutenant Colonel Ferenc Koszorus used the 1st Hungarian Armored Division under his command to force the removal of the gendarmerie loyal to the pro-Nazi puppet government and ready to carry out the deportation of the Jews from Budapest.
