This is more similar to takeover of Austria then of an invasion. Maybe better term would be annexation.

@xerxen100 Their population was also not hostile and not all of their soldiers were dead - Hungary is a country of 10m people - its army is not just 100k plus that was on the eastern front. They are capable of around 300k-400k soldiers.

@harnandi Excuses - Germany had almost no army in 1944 to spare. In 1944 Hungary, total army size was almost as big as that of Poland in 1939! But how many troops did Germans use? Few divisions. Operation is so small it does not even occupy full page of Wikipedia. Germany invaded Poland with sound numerical advantage, not just in equipment but troops. It invaded Hungary with huge numerical disadvantage.

@harnandi I did read dozens of books. Hungary simply did not feel like fighting. That is all. Same as others, many others.
