So yeah. It was a bumpy ride with the Germans. From their viewpoint we weren't the most trustworthy ally and our leadership knew the Germans also were willing to go as far as their interests reached. They were an aggressively expansive force which couldn't be defied but there were points which allowed cooperation and compared to all the other powers they were the only ones present in the region, the region which we needed and wanted to change to our advantage. They had to make do with us, especially after all the other allies of theirs proved to be utter garbage. Them granting us their armament originated from more of a necessity than generous intention. It's interesting to note that as they organised new SS units with foreign crew our two divisions couldn't even get enough SS uniforms, lot of the soldiers had to use their old ones from whatever Hungarian unit they served previously. A bunch of them applied to the SS in the hopes they get better equipment so they could actually contribute to the fighting. However most of them got nothing. Memoirs say - for example - a unit of theirs retreated to the west in Silezia (as they were transported to the area of Neuhammer) as the front approached and they went by an armory where they asked for weapons, they were denied on the basis that the counterattack soon will come and then the Germans will need those. The counterattack never came and the armory had to be blown up so the Red Army couldn't get its hands on it.
