>How Germans and Hungarians actually cooperated in WW2?
They didn't.
Well, it's difficult. The German-Hungarian relations were very chilly, I'm not sure which side trusted the other less. Will write about it later.
>There is pretty good and large article about Turan 2 on Russian wiki. It is strange that Hungarian version is much shorter.
The stigma of being fascist/nazi/anit-semite in that period is still very strong so it's kind of a taboo to show interest to these stuff. In the early 2000's a military historian started to paint more objective picture focusing entirely on the military side of the events leaving out the politics, society, economy everything. Still he was attacked. Since then a few younger ones fledged and continued to correct our view on things. Still they keep away from politics (both back then and today and when it comes up anyway they are extremely careful and cover their asses, anyone can earn the stigma easily).
The average Hungarian knows nothing about WWII and our participation. Almost exclusively fascists, nazis, those who study history at uni (those who specialize in WWII are mostly have fascist and nazi view on things), a handful of assburgers and for a degree some Jews ofc. Guess who edits the wikipedia articles on this topic. I'm not saying it's da Joos but it's da Joos.
Generally speaking Hungarian wikipedia is absolute shite.
Maybe I'll write more later on this as well.
