    The grave of Hungarian soldiers in Katowice-Murckach - the burial place of 29 Hungarian soldiers murdered by the Red Army on January 28, 1945, located at Węgierska Street in Katowice, in the area of the Murcki auxiliary unit.

    They operated the batteries of the anti-aircraft guns and fought alongside the German forces. The tomb was created about two months after the crime.

    During the war, young Hungarians operated anti-aircraft batteries near today's Lotos gas station. On January 27, Soviet tanks arrived from Wesoła. Apart from the chaplain who had escaped, the Hungarians did not flee but voluntarily surrendered. They ended up in a barrack for the night. The next morning they were led barefoot into the forest to Dolinka Murckowska and shot there.
