These are unit numbers of the labor companies (unarmed units) of the Hungar= ian Armed Forces and as such, they have nothing to do with the Germans or I= TS. Their records can be found, in fragments at the Hungarian Military Hist= ory Institute and Museum in Budapest. However, most of the actual records h= ave been scrapped/intentionally destroyed in 1945.

From: H-SIG [mailto:h-sig@...] Sent: Sunday, September 8, 2019 12:49 PM To: H-SIG <h-sig@...> Subject: [h-sig] Forced Labor during WW2 I am attempting to put more details to information received via the Arolsen= Archives. The purpose is to assist a cousin in understanding his Hungarian Father's h= istory as a forced laborer. One of the documents received calls out his transfer in April 1941 to "Ungv= ar, Arbeitskomp. 108/58" and then goes on to show where he ??served" Since I assume that ??Arbeitskomp ?? means Arbeitskompanie, which translat= es roughly to Work Regiment, I also assume that Uncle Alex was in Regiment = 108/58. Knowing that the Nazis kept prodigious details, I assume that there is info= rmation regarding specific forced work regiments. Unfortunately I have yet to locate anything online that helps me further. Can anyone provide some direction regarding details, German or English, abo= ut this topic. Online?, Books?, University Thesis?, etc. Thank you Alex Magocsi Researching: Magocsi, Grosz, Greif
