On 8 March 1945, Soviet-controlled Hungarian radio announced that Wallenberg and his driver had been murdered on their way to Debrecen, suggesting that they had been killed by the Arrow Cross Party or the Gestapo.
Nõukogude kontrolli all olev Ungari raadio teatas 8. märtsil 1945, et Wallenberg ja tema autojuht mõrvati teel Debreceni, vihjates, et tapmise taga oli kas Noolristlaste partei või gestapo.
