Structure and Organization of the Frontier Guard
The Hungarian Frontier Guard is organizationally linked to the Ministry of
Interior as a main department. The authorized minister is Bela BISZKU, member of
the Central Committee.
The highest military administrative authority of the Frontier Guard is the
National Frontier Guard Headquarters, under the leadership of Major General
(Vezerornagy) Lajos GYURKO.
headquarters, located all over Hungary.
Other regional Headquarters, the number designations
are located in Nyirbator, Miskolc, and Satoral-
jaujhely.
Subordinate to the First Regional Headquarters of the Frontier Guard is a
permanent battalion headquarters in Sopron and Mosonmagyarovar.
the permanent battalion headquarters in
Sopron is stationed in the 48th caserne. The present classes receive
three month's training in the Frontier Guard training regiment in this caserne. In
addition, an NCO school is located in the 48th caserne.
In April 1960, training of a technical company was begun in the 48th caserne,
and the soldiers were schooled only for engineer duties in the Frontier Guard
(mine-laying, erecting technical obstacles, etc.).
the permanent battalion headquarters in Mosonmagyarovar
is established in the Gyenes-Gyorgy [Gyorgy Gyenes] Caserne.
Besides the battalion headquarters in Mosonmagyarovar, there is a Frontier
Guard platoon of about 30 men, which is also called a reserve guard unit. This
platoon is entrusted with personal identity document patrols and camouflaged ob-
servation patrols in the area of the battalion headquarters.
There is a second Frontier Guard caserne in Mosonmagyarovar which is also called
the Level-uti caserne. The Frontier Guard units send capable soldiers to light
machine-gun and heavy machine-gun training in this caserne. This course always lasts
three days.

officers. Each of the officers has an additional duty, which has been described
so often already.
The post commander of every Frontier Guard post must call into the permanent
battalion headquarters every day at 0600 and 2000 and give an oral report. In
special cases, of course, the report is given immediately.

in Balassagyarmat.l
This caserne is located about 500 meters from the railroad station and
immediately beside the highway which runs between the station and Belassagyarmat,
and consists of the following buildings:
Objective 1: A three-story brick structure in the form of an "L", the
dimensions of which are 40 x 30 meters and 60 x 20 meters. The Balassagyarmat
police directorate is also located on this side of the caserne, within the complex.
(No further information). The Frontier Guard headquarters is also housed there.
The washroom is located on the ground-floor. Several offices for the Frontier
Guard officers are located on the second and third floors of building.
Objective 2: A single-floor brick structure, about 30 x 10 meters, with
kitchen, dining room, and culture room.
Objective 3: A two-story brick structure in the form of a "U" with the
following dimensions: side 3/A, 60 x 12 meters; side 3/B, 25 x 12 meters; side
3/C, 25 x 12 meters. The clothes room, the store-room, the infirmary, and the
operating room are on the ground floor; on the second floor are the EM rooms.
Objective 4: A single-floor brick structure, about 10 x 5 meters,
which serves as weapons repair shops.
Objective 5: A single-floor brick structure, 30 x 10 meters, which
serves as a garage (number of vehicles unknown).
The entire caserne complex is surrounded by the segments of the building for
the most part, and there is a 2.2 meter high brick wall at the open points.
the following Frontier Guard
posts, running from west to east along the Czechoslovak border, make up the
Balassagyarmat Frontier Guard battalion: Szob, Vamosmdkola, Dregelypelank,
Balassagyarmat, Szecseny, Nogradszakal, Litke, and Ipolytarnoc.
The Balassagyarmat guard post is in the caserne in objective 3. The strength
of the post is ten men, under the post commander, who is:
HEWETK (fnu). Frontier Guard Jr Lieutenant [Hatarorseg Alhadnagy~
In this connection he Hungarian national boundary
has no fortifications facing Czechoslovakia, and 0 the border itself is only
lightly and incompletely guarded. The area of the individual post headquarters
is significantly larger than on the western borders and only half as strongly
staffed. The number of enlisted men facing the Czechoslovak border is at the most
30 to 40 men per guard post.
The main duty of the Frontier Guard soldiers there consists of mobile patrols,
which carry out document inspection. No border infractions take place in this
area of Hungary, so only the prevention of smuggling is of concern to the defense
of the border. Frontier Guard soldiers themselves often
engage in smuggling. Discipline in e border sector leaves much to be desired,
and the execution of duties is considered complete relaxation as compared with
duty on the western Hungarian borders.
An the western borders of Hungary, however, strict discipline rules, and
service is described as physically hard and dangerous.

The training of a Frontier Guard soldier is subdivided into the following:
a. Physical training
b. Infantry and field training
c. Weapons training
d. Frontier Guard training
e. Political instruction
f. Documents training
It is reported that the training of Frontier Guard soldiers is no different
than described so often in other situations.
Pertinent to documents training
the 15 kilometer prohibited zone is not only effective for the Austrian-Hungarian
border region, but that it extends all around Hungary (including the people's demo-
cracies and the USSR). To enter this prohibited area, the same identifications and
registrations in the personal ID are necessary as in the western border region op-
posite Austria.
Barracks
During the training period, 35-40 soldiers (1 platoon) were housed in one
room. Sleeping accommodations were double-deck beds with straw mattresses and
straw pillows. Every soldier received two woolen blankets and two sheets, which
could be exchanged every two weeks. There were no lockers. Wooden stands, on
which the soldiers stored their equipment, were installed in the room. They hung
their clothes on wall hooks.
All rooms had stone floors which were kept immaculate. There were no tables
and chairs. Every soldier was issued only one wooden stool.
The sanitary facilities were in good condition and answered the average re-
quirements suitably.
Training Field
Field training of soldiers was carried out in the following areas:
1. Training area A/2: Balassagyarmat Market place; only physical
training here.
2. Training area B/2: This was directly next to the railroad embankment,
about 1 kilometer from the railroad station for trains running in a south-west
direction to Budapest.
3. Training area A/l: This was directly next to the city bathing beach
and about two kilometers north of the caserne.
4. Training area B/l: Located next to the football field, about 2.5
kilometers north-east of the caserne.

Albert-Kazmer-Puszta Frontier Guard Post, No 5,2
The guard post is located on the eastern edge of the city, about 1,000 meters
east of the Austrian border.
The following buildings are in the area of the post:
Objective 1: A single-floor brick building, about 60 x 15 meters; six
rooms for the enlisted men; office for the post commander; office for the political
officer and the NCOs in charge (Dienstfuhrender), dispatching room, kitchen, mess
hall, culture room, provisions room, clothes room, room for storing class A uni-
forms, materiel room, weapons room, weapons cleaning room, lavatory, and officers'
latrine. The enlisted men's latrine was in the courtyard.

as a stable (4 draught horses and 2 mounts); harness room and fodder storage;
wagon shed; coal bin; pig sty for three pigs next to it.
Objective 3: A single-floor brick building, about 3 x 2.5 meters; served
as a munitions dump, protected by mounds of dirt.
Objective 4: A one-story brick building, about 2 x 2 meters; served as
a weapons room for heavy weapons (sub-machine guns and light-machine guns) of the
guard post.
There was also a kennel for four dogs on the post. There were, however, only
two Alsatians there. One's name was Gondos.
A 2-meter wire entanglement on concrete posts was stretched around the guard
post. Inside the wire entanglement was a well kept system of trenches with machine-
gun nests and approach trenches.
Next to the post headquarters, outside the wire entanglement, there were two
two-family houses which served as barracks for the officers and service leaders.
Both houses were also protected with barbed wire.
Two officers, one service leader, and 57 enlisted men served on the guard post.

The border sector patrolled by the guard post is 8,107 meters long. It is
a level area of arable land and meadow. The post borders on the Erzsebetpuszta
[in text: Erszebethpuszta] Frontier Guard post in the north and the Vabalog post
in the south.
There are four watch towers for surveillance support. See the enclosed
sketch.
The technical border obstacles are seen from the Hungarian side as follows:
a. 50 cm wide patrol strip
b. 12 meter wide plowed strip
c. 3-4 meter wide mine field
d. 1.20 meter high, two-strand barbed wire stretched on the old system.
The soldiers are armed as follows:
15 soldiers serve with carbines, with 5 carbines in reserve in the weapons
room. The weapons were of Soviet manufacture.
42 soldiers are equipped with Soviet sub-machine and 10 sub-machine
guns are on reserve in the weapons room.
In addition, there were three more light machine guns and two more sub-machine
guns, all of Soviet manufacture (technical data are known
Soldiers were also equipped with a steel helmet, infantry spade, and gasmask
(these were taken along only in an alert).
On orders of the regional headquarters, there was a live ammunition exercise.
These marksmanship exercises were qudlifying exercises.
There were also daily weapons exercises and a completion or review of training.
Service on the post was distributed as follows:
Every soldier had to do at least eight hours' patrol duty in 24 hours.
He also had a right to seven hours' complete rest. At other times, there were
weapons exercises, infantry training, political instruction, and room and equip-
ment cleaning. Of course, there was special duty in an alert, and it did not
follow the mentioned duty-schedule; even rest-time could be curtailed.
In Kazmerpuszta, however, there were seldom alerts) and the soldiers considered
the post peaceful.
There was political instruction three times per week, each two hours long,
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The instruction was given by the political officer,
who supported his lecture with the following brochures:
1. VII Congress of the Hungarian Party
2. The Geographic World Map
3. Western Military Pacts (NATO, Bagdad Pact, SEATO, etc.)
4. The Warsaw Military Pact for the Feight People's Democracies

Austria is a neutral country. However, organizations of Capitalist
nations of the West are active there, on agreement with the Austrian
government. These organizations school their spies on Austrian soil and
send them into the people's democracies; this is known to the Austrian
government. Austria can be deemed a spring-board of Western espionage
against Hungary.
Austria has 7 million inhabitants. The capital is Vienna, with 1.7
million inhabitants. A tremendous economic rise was noted in this nation
after 1945. Agriculture is fully mechanized, and one farmer is to produce
food for 6 Austrians. In Hungary, one man in the same position can produce
food for only three men, or half the Austrian capacity. By 1965, Hungary
will have reached the Austrian standard in the areas of agricultural and
industrial production.
The main support of the Austrian economy is its modern industries,
since it is chiefly a mountainous country (although it is occupied to a
great extent in cattle raising), Austria must still import agricultural
products, since its crop yields are not sufficient to sustain its population.
The political instruction was taken very seriously and always qualified by
the political officer.
Three soldiers were always posted to guard the post headquarters; 24 hours,
in eight-hour shifts. There was an eight-hour tower duty in front of the post;
another eight-hours on watch duty, with an obligation to service the switchboard
in the room and to inform the duty officer about the soldiers sent on patrol.
Eight hours were devoted to complete rest.
The following patrols were carried out in the guard post:
1. Sector patrol
2. Mobile patrol
3. Observation patrol
4. Camouflaged patrol
5. Document inspection patrol
6. Patrol of the plowed strip
The difference between the dress of the recruit and the active Frontier
Guard is that the actives receive long dress trousers and a Hungarian tailored
blouse (in the recruit period, the uniforms are Soviet tailored).
Soldiers mess was quantitatively and qualitatively good.
The barracks were arranged so that 8 to 12 soldiers lived in one room. The
beds were place one on top of the other and provided with straw mattresses and
straw pillows. Each soldier had two woolen blankets and two sheets which were
changed every two weeks.
There were no lockers, only wooden stands. There were also no tables and
chairs, only a stool. The floors were made of stone material and were always kept
immaculate. The sanitary and hygienic facilities were modern and in good condition.
and the post is considered peaceful.

In 1957, the underground construction enterprise in Miskolc'
received the order to build industrial plants on
At the end of May 1958, the enterprise was finished.
The factory is set up in a hilly, thickly forested area, for the most part
underground. The individual shops are separated from each other by a two meter
high barbed wire. in one special part of the instal-
lation, pure nitro-glycerin is produced.
Guarding of the installation is cared for by a factory militia [Workers Guard,
Munkasorseg] in blue uniforms and armed with Soviet sub-machineguns. Special
identification is necessary to get into the installation. All workers must submit
to a frisking when they enter or leave the installation.
The products are transported by trucks decked with black flags. These trucks
drive to an industrial [RR] spur which is directly connected with the city of
Sajoecseg.
National Construction Enterprise No 63 in Nyiregyhaza [Nyireghaza in text]
This construction enterprise was responsible for all construction work in
Szabolcs-Szatmar Megye.
About 1,600 workers and employees worked in the construction enterprise. For
the most part, they built small plants of little importance for the consumer goods
industry. The work was mostly done mechanically. No further data.

Miscellaneous

Mateszalka has about 18,900 inhabitants, and until December 1959, 60 percent
were independent farmers. Since that time, they have all been compelled to join
the collective farms by the well-known methods. Independent farming ceased then,
and the depression of the population caused by the collectivization began.
The rest of the population of this city is workers and employees of the
surrounding industries of Borsod Megye.
The collective farms of this region are called Zalka-Mate

The population is for the most part religious, and did not allow the practice
of their faith to be disturbed. The people still go to church, more now than ever.
The Party leadership, which is aware of the attitude of the population, strives
primarily among the youth, and thereby wishes to secure the future.
