Turán II - which unit?

[Marcus Wendel]

Does anyone have any additional info on the below Bundesarchiv-photos on Hungarian soldiers on a Turán II, such as unit or location?
Thanks.

I believe the scene was shot in Tokaj city, the centre of the most famous wine-making region of Hungary.
This does not appear to be an August day, rather a cold Autumn day.

Do you have the photos yourself?

No, the photos are from the Bundesarchiv and available at Wikimedia.

Hi,

The photo on top was also published in Péter Gosztonyi's book "Vihar Kelet-Európa Felett" (Storm over Eastern Europe). The caption is something like retreating Hungarian soldiers in the "Duna-Tisza köz" (~that is the middle part of Hungary that lies between the Danube and the Tisza) early autumn 1944.

It is vague but contradicts the Romania/August theme.

Bye,
Krisz
