Bulgarian Soldier

Bulgaria joined the Axis in 1941 and deployed troops into occupied territories in the Balkans. Its forces performed occupation, security, and border duties, while the country initially avoided military participation in Germany’s war against the Soviet Union. This position changed dramatically inSeptember 1944, when Soviet forces entered Bulgaria and a new government realigned the country. Bulgarian armies subsequently fought against German forces during campaigns in Yugoslavia and Hungary. Their operations included the advance through the southern Balkans and cooperation with Soviet formations as the war moved into central Europe. Bulgaria’s military history consequently spans both Axis association and direct combat against its former German ally.
