Hungarian pictures?
Hi,
I'd like to find pictures of Hungarians served during WW2. I have seen pictures of hungarian tanks and artillery, but have never seen soldiers or airmen.
Do anybody have good web sites or books that show photos of Hungarians in WW2?
Thanks in advance.

Here are a few photos:
Hungarian Army during manoeuvres. In photograph one can see a column of Hungarian Raba-Botond trucks. 1st Hungarian Army, 1944
Hungarian artillery crew is changing a 75mm Bofors gun over to fire position. Hungary, 1944
Hungarian soldiers are training in shooting the German antitank weapon Panzerfaust 30. Standing behind the instructor is the Hungarian General Beregfy Karoly Hungary, 1944
Hungarian officers are surrendering. It can be seen from this photograph that they belong to various combat arms: cavalry, aviation, irfantry. Budapest, February 1945

Some more cavalry pictures:
Eastern front, near Pervomaysk, August 1941. A Honvéd trooper and horse.
The Hungarian Mobile Corps. Saddle check before the morning ride.
Eastern front near Winniza, September 1941. A cavalry patrol by the Hungarian occupation forces. The officer’s horse, even by at first sight, is clearly a tempremental animal of fine breeding.
In terms of equipment and armament, the Hungarian cavalry division was ill-suited to the demands of the second half of the war. The equipment carried by the rider in the centre of the photo is most interesting. Mounted on his saddle is a type of battle-axe. Russia 1944.
A Hungarian Huszár of the Mobile Corps, summer 1941. Note the distinctive cap flash with its three braids, and the field collar patch.
The Hungarian Mobile Corps, including the 1st Cavalry Brigade, served with the Wehrmacht’s 17th Army as part of Army Group South. These well-mounted heirs to the Imperial Hussar tradition distinguished themselves in the first deep advance of summer/autumn 1941, but were worn out by the time winter fell.

Sorry Olof,
I don't have any information on Hungarian 75mm Bofors guns. I only have the following information on Hungarian 40mm Bofors AA guns, Hungarian designation 40mm 36M.
I suspect the caption of the picture is a mistake, it should be 80mm Bofors gun. The Hungarians did have some of these guns, designated as 80mm 29/38M.
To my best knowledge, the Hungarians only had two types of 75mm guns in service, Skoda M15 Mountain Guns (designated as 75mm 15, 75mm 15/31, and 75mm 15/35M), and a few German PaK 40 (designated as 75mm 40M).
I hope other members can shed more light on this issue.
Best Regards!

From: http://www.wwiitechpubs.info/barrack/in ... rs-br.htmlIn Hungary, the 40-mm gun was produced by MAVAG (Hungarian State Railways). The Hungarian armed forces deployed at least 767 guns; of these, 135 were mounted on 40M Nimrod self-propelled (SP) mountings, and a very few were mounted in Messerschmitt Me 210Ca-1 twin-engined aircraft. Hungary also exported guns to Finland, Great Britain, Norway, China, and Latvia. During World War II, the Hungarians provided at least 262 guns and 735 spare barrels to the German armed forces. The Hungarians added some technical developments to their Bofors, and were the first to use them in combat in conjunction with radar fire control. In one engagement against the Soviets at the River Tizer in 1943, Hungarian radar-controlled guns brought down all 25 attacking Petlyakov Pe 2 aircraft.
The Nimrod anti-aircraft tank was a Hungarian 38M Toldi chassis with a Bofors gun mounted in a high open-topped turret overhanging to the rear. The gun protruded through a vertical slot in the curved turret front. The turret accommodated a commander, two layers, and a loader. The gun was traversed and elevated manually. The prototype was produced in October 1941, and the Nimrod saw service from 1942 onwards in both AA and, less successfully, anti-tank (AT) roles. This was the first armoured self-propelled AA mounting of the Bofors gun.
