Eastern Front Enforcers | Panzer IV Ausf.F in Hungarian Service

- During the Second World War, the Germans could not do much to improve the heavy industries of their allies. In Europe, besides the Italians, only the Hungarians managed to put resources and time into actual tank production, albeit in limited scope. They did so under the leadership of Admiral Miklós Horthy, who aligned Hungary with Nazi Germany, partially motivated by Hungary's territorial ambitions. Despite having a limited pool of armored vehicles, the Hungarians managed to achieve success against neighbouring nations such as Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia. Things turned out differently after the invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941. As the invasion progressed, the Hungarian armored units suffered extremely heavy losses and, by the end of the year, nearly all AFVs were lost. As the Germans desperately needed more men for the upcoming 1942 offensive, they supplied the Hungarians with over 100 tanks. These included 22 Panzer IV Ausf.Fs and, in 1942, these were by far the best tanks that the Hungarian Army operated.

I've never seen such a detailed look at minor axis nation armor on the eastern front. Usually it's just technical specs and "they fought around Stalingrad before being wiped out."
Hungary's involvement in WW2, especially that of the 2# army is actually well documented by Hungarian historians so there's plenty of sources to go by, the problem lies with the Hungarian language which is one of the most difficult languages in the world. 😏 Although newer works by Ungvári Krisztián and Romsics Ignác usually get English translations.
@@stanleysmith7551so 😏 cool
Only the tank encyclopedia can make a full video about the most random facts
Great video. I find the history of the "more minor axis powers" interesting and the fact that Hungary did have their own locally produced weapons makes them even more intriguing. I have a couple of books on Armored Forces of Hungary and your vid still gave me more facts that maybe I missed, especially the insignia facts (good for model builders). What is even cooler is the fact that Hungary was trying to produce a fairly competitive domestic tank in the Turan series.
The Germans were big on training in every service even the Panzers. A crewman was suppose to learn every job in a tank. They also did far more live firing practice
Your video narrations are improving making it more like a succesor to HC.
I can't get over the bob semple in the intro ❤️
Good eye!!!
I really like these largely overlooked topics about the minor Axis countries' military equipment during WWII.
I get the impression Hungary would have been stuffed either way.
Really good footage and editing for this one
Very nice video, has me thinking of painting a Panzer 38(t) as a Hungarian vehicle :)
The 40M Nimrod looks a useful tank 👍
It was not really a tank, but a light anti-tank/anti-air vehicle.
It was not ideal against tanks, but it was one of the best anti-air vehicles.
@@Dragonman1OOO armored tracked figthing vehicle with a cannon aka a tank
@@romaboo6218You see, not every tracked armoured vehicle with a gun is a tank. Just look at the Stugs, Marders, Stuh, Bishop, Priest, SU/ISU tank destroyers and many many more.
Love the analysis of minor axis powers! Hard to find much content about them.
They fought bravely and would have done a lot better if they had more better panzers
At 13:59 there's a wrong designation for the 10x Panzer III tanks (right side), they are also designated as being "10x Panzer IV G".
Thank you for sharing
🏆🇺🇸🙏🤗
Nice video!
they also had the turan 1 and later the turan 2 tanks.
Nice informations.
Core Caysus, what the hell is that? Almost as funny as the mispronunciation of the German word for Senior Corporal - Oberg Freighter. You gotta love the Americans.
Czechs and hetzer 2500 made of this excellent light tank
At 6:05 their is a video issue, you have 3 told is instead of 3 t38s should be reversed to 1 told, abs 3 t38s
Echt sehr Interessantes Video, zur Ungarischen Panzer Waffe.
Brutal.
Do you guys know if hungary ever used panzer 3 ausf n with the short howitzer barrel?
No, only the 5 cm armed version
"Other tanks"? At the time, there were _no_ other tanks available for the germans to supply. By mid-42/late 43, what they needed was 200+ Panzer IV with long 75, or Stug III with same gun, but that would have been impossible for germany to supply.
Hungarian Royal Armed Forces = Magyar Királyi Honvédség. Armed Forces = Honvédség, not Honvéd. Honvéd = soldier.
The Hungarians could not produce any tanks that could stand up to T-34s ( 76mm guns) or the KV-1s. That was the biggest issue Germany had with its’ allies. None of Germany’s allies in WW2 were capable of producing AFVs that could stand up to the AFVs produced by the US, UK or USSR - only German AFVs were able to do the job - so Germany who was already not able to produce enough AFVs for their needs - had to give/ sell armor to it’s allies - in order to fight successfully
Sure, because Germany already lost air superiority and they bombed our factories.
The first Tas prototype was bombed too.
Turan III-s were an equal match to the 76mm T34-s and slightly better at long ranges, about the same az a Pz. IV.
That's the best 'domestic' tank we had along with the Nimród's which was basically like an upgraded L62 anti with HEAT.
But if you compare everything to War Thunder then nothing beats Stalinium angled paper and mg ports, not even Stalinium shells.
Don't think so. The Zrínyi self-propelled artillery was able to kill T-34's with their 105 mm gun as they did it so many times For example in 1944 near Torda, Romania, they destroyed 18 T-34 and lost only 6.
Great report on a van almost never mentioned axis nation holding the lines. Your dates are wrong especially since the Hungarian army was destroyed in mid December 1942 in operation Little Saturn and the Hungarian army couldn’t have been engaging the Russians in January 1943 because they had been destroyed. So what battles are you talking about after December 16th 1942 that weren’t their forces being surrounded and surrendered? Are your dates just wrong?
cool

Hungry panzer
6:08 small slip up here
12:35, yes, but what 76.2 was it? you show footage of an anti tank gun then an anti infantry gun. there is also a 76.2 field gun. you need to specify, dude.
It wasn't specified in the source text though it was probably a ZiS-3.
Please do the Rumanians next, pretty please!?!
