Summary
"This book offers a detailed summary of an important and little-known World War II army. Hungary, which had lost 67 per cent of its territory after World War I, was an easy target for German pressure in the 1930s. The text is illustrated with rare wartime photos, detailed insignia charts, and colour uniform plates."--BOOK JACKET.
