Lesz még kikelet! (Spring will come!) is a monograph on the WWII history of the Hungarian Royal 27^th Székely Light Division between 1940 and 1945. Árpád-Róbert Berekméri (archivist at the Mures District Records of the Transylvanian Calvinist Church) accomplished this book following painstaking research. The first units of the book present the circumstances of the Hungarian army getting established in Transylvania following the 2nd Vienna Award and the formation of the 27^th Székely Light Division. Further units render details of life as a recruit, various trainings, courses as well as contests and games organized by the army, also shedding light on the role the presence of the soldiers had in Székely towns’ community life. The fourth part is about the first period of battlefield activity in 1942-43 on the East Front as part of the 2^nd Hungarian Army. The next part details the last peace-time year of the 27^th Székely Light Division, first of all, their contribution in setting up the Székely Border Guard and re-organizing army structure after the Szabolcs Plan was introduced. The last two units are accounts of the 27^th Székely Light Division’s 1944-45 activity in Galicia, Transylvania, Hungary, on the Czech-Moravian territory and then in Austria right up to capitulation.
