1939. e issued on 22nd May 1939, the training of officers was to be conducted from academic year 1939 – 40 onwards at the following three military colleges: the Ludovika Academy for Infantry, Cavalry and Artillery; the Horthy Miklós Military Aviation Academy for the Air Force; the Bolyai János Technical Academy for technical-related weapons and military units, as well as for the gendarmerie. Thus, main group II took the name of János Bolyai, and main group I again operated under the name Ludovika Academy. In 1942, due to an increasing shortage of officers, the training period was reduced to 2 years, but it was still considered 3 years as it included a one-year service at troops. From academic year 1943 – 44 onwards, the duration and contents of training were further reduced. From the autumn of 1944, the academy students were deployed in garrisons all over the country, where they served as section or platoon commanders at fortification works. The last officer commissioning ceremony of the Ludovika Academy took place in Körmend, in the castle garden of the Batthyány Palace and in Hajmáskér on 15th November 1944. The institution then transferred to Germany and ceased to exist on 25 April 1945.
