If I found the correct lyrics, it's a "cover" version of a folk song and the lyrics refer to the 1877 Russo-Turkish war.

  Oh, thanks! I thought there was something about a regiment of Hungarians dying far from their motherland? But if it was the Russo-Turkish war I probably misremember it and it was a Finnish regiment dying far from home. I think it all had something to do with the fact that Finno-Ugric is one language family and I got the feeling it meant that Finnish and Hungarian people feel connected through it somehow? Edit: thanks to your pointer, I had a look around and I think the song refers to the battle of Gorni Dubnik, where the Finnish Guard sharpshooters fought (but didn't all die, as I remembered). Thanks and again sorry to the thread for hijacking it!

    There was a Hungarian volunteer battalion that came to Finland for the Winter War in early 1940, but as far as I know, the war ended while they were still in training, so they didn't participate in any battles.
