Abstract
On 19 March 1944, the Wehrmacht invaded Hungary. The country’s fall under foreign military rule carried the threat that Nazi Germany would take control of the oil fields of Southern Zala. Since maintaining control over the Hungarian oil industry was also a key issue for Hungary, the opinion of German oil expert Alfred Bentz at the request of German military circles, who suspected significant oil reserves, could not be ignored. As always in such situations, the situation was not clear-cut, and the personal relationship between the two geologists made a difference in this situation, which enabled Hungarian interests to be asserted to some extent.
