The German Invasion of Hungary (1944) - Operation Margarethe to Put Hungary Under German Occupation

What about Hungary during the Second World War? The Germans invaded Hungary in March 1944: Operation Margarethe I was set in motion. Why did Germany invade Hungary. Both countries were allies and fought on the Eastern Front. After the Don Disaster where the Second Hungarian Army was destroyed, regent Miklós Horthy wanted to exit the war. That wasn't so easy and Germany put him under pressure. Eventually the Germans launched the operation to capture Hungary. The Hungarian Army didn't resist. Later that year Operation Panzerfaust was launched; Horthy was removed and the Arrow Cross Party gained power.
