At the end of August, the destruction of the 6th Army in Romania and the country's change of alliance forced the Nazis to call on all available reserves. Among other things, the two SS cavalry divisions in formation with German-speaking Magyars hastily created Kampfgruppen. The latter are immediately engaged in Transylvania and then on Hungarian soil. The bulk of al 8.SS-Kavallerie-Division is then involved in the battle of Debrecen which opens at the beginning of October then around Nyiregyhaza at the end of the month when the Axis tried again to encircle the Pliev group. On the 25th, SS-Kavallerie-Regiment.15 and SS-Panzer-Aufklarungs-Abteilung.8, among others, participated in the trap.
