Honved MG Position on the Don River, 1942

A unit of Hungarian machine gunners shown here manning a position by the Don. Magyar field artillery was effective here, but anti-tank guns were mainly small caliber and scarce, tanks were hardly present in any number, and self-propelled artillery was not yet available. But they had good Mosin Nagant rifles.

I wouldn’t stake my life on it, but I think the Hungarian rifles of WWII were more Mannlicher than Mosin-Nagant. The Schwarzlose MG shown here was used, in various models, by many nations during WWII, including Romania, Hungary, Holland, and Germany.
