Hovéds in Russia

From the Protestant village of Hajdubagos, the portrait of a young Hungarian soldier Karoly Bakos, who served in the army during WW2. His Hajdu county region is named after the intrepid young men of the past, called the "hajdu" (haay-doo), who used to offer their fighting skills to noble estates and free cities, like Debrecen, in return for financial compensation. One wonders if this "milky faced kid" ever made it back home.
