Aurél Stromfeld

Aurél Stromfeld (19 September 1878, Budapest – 10 October 1927, Budapest) was a Hungarian general. He served as general staff officer in the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. He served as commander-in-chief of the Hungarian Red Army during the Hungarian Soviet Republic and had a major role in temporarily pressing back the Czech and Romanian forces invading the Northern and Eastern territories of Hungary during the 1919 Hungarian–Czechoslovak War and Hungarian–Romanian War. He resigned after the Hungarian Soviet Republic accepted the note of French Prime Minister Clemenceau, the proposal for Hungary's new borders, with orders for the Hungarian army to withdraw within those borders.
