Re: Hungarian-Slovak land losses in March 1939

Yes, combats between 23.03-31.03.39.
I know that Czech troops had withdrown mostly to Romania, even one S.328 had landed there.
I do not remeber, that Czech soldiers had crossed Polish border? It possible, but very difficoult according earlier political, enemy situation.

According a book: Madarska Armada, by Kliment, Bernad (2007), the losses, estimation done by Germany sources, were about 100-150 KIA and twice more WIA (about 200-300).
So it could be quite high too, and very similar to this one in April 1941 in combat against Yugoslavia.

It looks very high indeed, even too high, and maybe you are right with this losses sustained during combats versus 12. Czech Division?

Slovak had just began to organise own military forces (lack of officers), so they do not have enough military power to make such big losses on Hungary units (?).
