Hungarian tanks?

[Milan Szekelyhidi]

Hi Milan,
Also do you happen to have any photos of Toldis, Csabas or Nimróds of the 1. tábori páncélos hadosztály in Don bend during this period?

I atached some Hungarian pictures for East front.

The marks was metal and mould.
That used in tanks and armoured cars.
The 2nd half of the war didn't use.

Hi Olof,

To my best knowledge the Nimród used the German designed 155 hp 8 cylinder Büssing engine manufactured by Ganz in Hungary under license. The Hungarian designation of the engine is GANZ VIII. VGT 107.

Best Regards!

Hi Olof,

I don't think the Hungarians actually bought/manufactured this tank. Late in the war the Hungarians did develop a twin engine heavy tank called Tas, but it was obviously based on the Turan chassis. Although its profile has some similarity with the Lago, it is much larger and heavier than Lago.



For more information on Tas go to http://www.thirdreichforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=19899

Best regards!

The MÁVAG (Magyar Királyi Állami Vas-, Acél és Gépgyárak (Royal Hungarian State Iron, Steel and Engine factories) ordered 1 p. Landsverk Lago tank from Swedish Landsverk Company. Because the Hungarian made 40 mm tank-cannon planned to the Lago, 1 p. sent to Landsrona because, the Hungarian engines wanted to test in the Lago. Because the test and the plan was very slow (only few plan was ready (for example they only sad: they want use 2 p. 150 hp petrol engine) in February 1940) the MÁVAG gave up the order.

Hi Milan,

Do you have any information on whether the 1. Field Armored Division actually received any Panzer IV Ausf D and Ausf F2 during the 1942 Don campaign? Some of the books and websites said these models were delivered to the 1. Field Armored Division, but I have never seen a picture of these tanks in Hungarian service.

Thank you and My Best Regards!
