Not: this is a good photocopy, but no OCR and no search capability.  This is the second book that Mushroom Models Publications has done on an armour subject, and they have picked a very interesting one. This book tells the story of Hungarian Armour ops on the Eastern Front. The Hungarians were primarily involved in the area around the river Don and were not always treated well by their supposed allies in terms of support and equipment. There are a considerable number of interesting period photos and stories that cover those ops.This is followed by a section on Hungarian armour, both Hungarian designed and other material received from the Germans. Then comes a section of superb 1/35 scale drawings of the various Hungarian types and then an equally useful section of colour closeups of those extant vehicles in museums.A real boon to modellers is the final section of large, colour profiles. These show not only Hungarian built vehicles, but those supplied by the Germans as well. On the back cover are some rare period colour photos.This is a look into an area of armour that few have bothered to cover and it is a fascinating read and excellent reference.
