This is an old documentary but I highly recommend watching it now. "The Last Days"

About the Nazi/Hitler move against Hungary. Two things stuck out in my mind after watching this and those two things were shown early on in the video. (1) That to Hitler and the Nazis it became more important to kill Jews than to give more attention to resources and attention to winning in Europe. (2) What happened in Hungry to allow the massacre was done gradually.

The generals at the front were begging Hitler for locomotives and rail cars for the delivery of troops, tanks, and supplies for the war effort. But they were constantly diverted for use in the Holocaust.

Hitler murdered 12 million people, but likely shortened the war as a result, which likely saved many millions more lives.
