The actions of the German armored forces during the Second World War is
well known. What has not yet been so well told are the actions of the
armored forces from Germany's allies. While it is true that their
performance was generally quite secondary in comparison to the Reich,
the actions of the Hungarian armored forces should be highlighted.
Hungary not only managed to organize its armored forces, but developed
its own military industry that was able to supply weapons and equipment
to its troops. The Hungarian military was able to produce all kinds of
weapons, vehicles and armored vehicles, although they were generally
under-gunned and under-armored.
This book rescues Hungary's participation during the Second World War
from oblivion through the use of superb photographs, which take the
reader from the beginning of the USSR campaign and the conquest of
Soviet lands, before ending with the bloody battles to avoid the Soviet
and Romanian advance into Hungary (the Siege of Budapest) and the last
clashes in Austrian and Slovenian territory before the army's
unconditional surrender.
The author highlights the bravery and courage of these men, as well as
the terrible fate of the Hungarian armored forces when the Soviet Army
invaded Hungary
