The 25th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS Hunyadi, also known as SS Grenadier Division Hunyadi, was a Hungarian formed division of the SS.
The division was still forming when the Red Army reached Silesia, forcing the division to retreat to Bavaria and later to Austria. In Austria it fought against forces from the US Third Army before surrendering 4-5 May near the Attersee. [1]
