The 25th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS "Hunyadi" (1st Hungarian) was a short-lived infantry division of the Waffen-SS, an armed branch of the German Nazi Party that served alongside but was never formally part of the Wehrmacht during World War II.
Established in November 1944 following the German overthrow of the Hungarian regime of Miklós Horthy, it consisted of troops drawn from the Royal Hungarian Army's 13th Honvéd Division, as well as a ski battalion.
In February 1945, the Soviet Red Army was closing on the division's training area, so the troops were evacuated, reaching Austria in April.
The remainder of the division was involved in its first significant combat on 3 May, fighting elements of the U.S. Third Army.
An armshield in the Hungarian national colors was planned, but it is unclear if any were made or worn.
