World War II Armed Forces – Orders of Battle and Organizations

Royal Hungarian Army Mobilized Organization 1942 Security Division (Also known as Light Division) 1 July 1942

   

This organization applied to the reduced strength Light Divisions on the East Front to secure the rear areas (Line-of-Communication zones). The infantry and cavalry companies only had three platoons. Although the Hungarians did not redesignate these divisions as "Security" Division, the Germans did, (Sicherungs-Divisione), but this was apparently to indicate purpose, and does not reflect Hungarian usage. However, to avoid confusion with the full-strength Light Divisions fielded under the Second Army, they are shown here as "Security" Divisions.
