A sober-looking artillery unit posing by their MAVAG 105 (?) field artillery gun facing east toward the Soviet lines in south-central Russia. The accurate fire of these guns, plus of the few available AT artillery pieces, was the most effective means of slowing down the attacking Soviet tank and infantry units during January, 1943.

Hungarian Field Artillery Unit, Don Front, 1942

One of the chores for the Hungarian troops at the Don front was keeping their many horses in good working order, like these blacksmiths shown above in the process of shoeing a horse cast far into Russia by the (crazy) war during 1942.

Fighting for the control of the west bank of the Don River caused many casualties on both sides. Here is a Hungarian military cemetery as it appeared in late 1942. RIP.
