The article focuses on Hungary's secret peace talks with the U.S. and Great Britain (Allies) during World War II (WWII) and how the Allies' failure to capitalize on these offers of peace impacted their war strategy. The author explains how the Allies provoked a German invasion of Hungary to launch the Allied invasion of Normandy, France, explores how this decision put Hungary's Jewish population in danger and led to the final phase of the German-sponsored genocide program Holocaust, and analyzes the moral choices of the Allies.
