I'm not sure this kind of thing is allowed here or not, if not sorry in advance.
Can somebody translate this? His name was Ángyás Károly, and his father name was Ángyás Lajos, he was born in 1922 Hungary, Fejér county, Vértesdoboz,. I included 2sets in 4 pics which are very simmilar, most likely he was moved between camps. Can somebody translate the entire thing if it's not too big of a request?
Nationality: Hungarian
Which army served in: Hungarian
Address before being drafted: same as section 4
Citizenship: Hungarian
Party affiliation: None
Religious affiliation: reformist
Education: 6 grades of elementary school. No specialized education, no military education.
Profession: peasant
Drafted on October 4th, 1943
Branch of the armed forces: tanks
Last unit of service before being captured: 1st Tank Division 1st Battalion
Rank: Senior Gefreiter (I don't know what the actual Hungarian rank would be, maybe Szakaszvezető)
Position: radio operator
Date and place of capture: January 29th, 1945, Buda
Notes on movement: May 8th, 1948: transferred to NKVD camp, registered (the rest is illegible)
February 2nd, 1948
The second document is largely the same but adds a few details:
He served in the 4th company of the 1st battalion
On April 13th, 1945, he arrived in Camp 27 from Camp 176
On November 30th, 1945, he left Camp 27 for Camp 59
Camp 27 was established in Krasnogorsk in the winter of 1941-42 to hold German POWs captured in the Battle of Moscow. It ended up serving as a temporary location for many POWs captured in Europe. A disproportionate amount of officers and 82% of generals were housed here permanently. The National Committee of Free Germany ran from here as well, so it was sort of an "elite" POW camp.
Thanks!
Have you ever got to meet him before? 🤷🏼♀️
I’m sorry if this question is too emotional sensitive for you. War & family (especially in this context) can be a very sensitive subject to talk about. 🙈
Only my father did, he passed away in the 90s not sure exactly when. My father said he never talked about the war, he only mentioned the work camp(s) after the war, so now my father is surprised as well to learn this much about him, never would have guessed that he was captured at the battle of Budapest and that he was part of a tank battalion.
Well he was a corporal major, radio operator in tank forces. He was captured on January 29th 1945, forcefully, at the city of Buda (Budapest historic center). He was a "peasant" by his profession and he only got 6 grades of school, as education In November 30, 1945, he was released from a prison camp
Thank you!
A correction: his rank would be better translated as senior corporal
I don't think so. Corporal is NCO, and "ефрейтор" isn't.
He wasn't, he was transferred to another camp (No 37 to No 59).
