Romanian and Hungarian Tanks


Recommended Posts

I like the look of the Maresel Tank it's like a mini Hetzer. Did the Romanians manage to produce any series production of the Maresel? Would it have been a good tank?

How many crew did it have 2 or 3, sources don't agree on this.

Did the Hungarians build any number of Turan 3's with 43 caliber 75mm guns. I have seen a picture of one.

Do any pictures of a zinyi 1 with a 75mm gun exsist? The Hungarians supposidly built a few prototypes.

I have read that a Toldi and a Turan with a 75mm gun was produced as a protoype like a german marder. I have never seen a piture of these are seen any statistics on these two.

Mav1,

Here's some info

Hungarian AFVs

AFVs of Other Axis forces

http://www.achtungpanzer.com/axispzs.htm

Some good photos (including your Zrinyi) and data here.

Several models here of some of these vehicles, including a few (Zrinyi and T.A.C.A.M 60) by armor expert (many books) and master modeler Steve Zaloga. I've seen brief film footage of a Turan 3

in the field as part of a History Channel show

I saw months ago. Some Eastern Front documentary.

mav1,

You're welcome! As for your library problem, may I suggest that you have the librarian go to the Achtung Panzer home page and read the statement on the nonpolitical purposes of the site? You might also inquire as to why it's okay for RAC Bovington

to parade real ones for the paying public, yet you can't look at a few pictures of same on the Internet. Is the IWM site also classed as violent?

Regards,

John Kettler
