A Francia Idegenlégióban szolgált magyarok levéltári forrásai

This unique collection of historical resources presently at the Blinken-OSA Archives was explored and produced by Béla Nóvé, a Hungarian historian and documentary filmmaker based in Budapest. He conducted extensive oral history and archival research in France and Hungary during the period 2011–2017. The collection contains both private and legionary, digital- and paper-based materials of the more than 4,000 Hungarian volunteers who joined the French Foreign Legion (FFL) following 1945 and 1956. Particular focus is placed on those circa 500 Hungarian minors, who took an active part in the 1956 Hungarian revolution and freedom fight, then fled to the West as refugees and joined the FFL, just to find themselves soon in the devastating battles of the Algerian war. Among them, a few dozen veterans still keep in contact and regularly meet in Provence, in the south of France.

本独特的史料集合现藏于布达佩斯的Blinken-OSA档案馆，由匈牙利历史学家兼纪录片制作人贝拉·诺沃（Béla Novó）进行挖掘与制作。诺沃先生于2011年至2017年间在法国和匈牙利进行了广泛的口述历史与档案研究。该集合涵盖了超过4000名1945年和1956年之后加入法国外籍兵团（FFL）的匈牙利志愿者的私人及军团资料，这些资料基于数字和纸质形式。特别关注约500名在1956年匈牙利革命和自由斗争中发挥积极作用、随后作为难民逃往西方并加入FFL的匈牙利未成年人。其中，数十名老兵依然保持着联系，并定期在法国南部普罗旺斯地区相聚。
