17 - 4 - goes without a doubt to the millions. The city of Budapest itself more than doubled the number of its inhabitants. On the part of the competent Hungarian authorities almost nothing was prepared for the solution of the refugee problem. Also for the care and accommodation is almost nothing. As food distribution to these refugees does not take place, the accumulation of people on the black market has an impact, especially since the ever-increasing inflation of everyone strives to hoard consumer goods, especially food. Refugee flows have a catastrophic impact on the overall traffic situation. In Western Hungary there are hundreds of trains loaded with refugees, which cannot be released, as the refugees are not accommodated anywhere. In the capital itself, the l0.ll. government asked for the evacuation of Pest on Friday. This does not affect the Furnace side. However, the government calls for this are so impossible to form that practically on the part of the population the evacuation request was not followed, in this request it says among other things: "Since the city itself can become a combat area and is to be defended under all circumstances, it seems right, above all, to leave the weapons-capable men plague. They are to be grouped into marching units and take with them the most necessary things they can carry. It is pointed out that there are no transport possibilities and that the family members can only be taken if they are able to travel larger marches / about 25 km daily/." This call is so unsavory written that it borders on sabotage. Practically he had no success at all. Already in the days before, some central authorities and ministries had planned an evacuation. It turned out that the majority of the employees did not comply with the voluntary call to leave the plague.
