Hungarian 8 cm 29.M. AA gun

After completing artillery training in the Honved army, this young man from the shores of the Tisza river was ordered to move East with his unit in the summer/fall of 1941. All of the following pictures originate from Sergeant Paul (Pal) Nagy's personally shot photographs. 


Front-Bound Paul Nagy, Hungary, 1941

Following up on the ongoing discussion, I have double checked the original Hungarian-language source. In the process, I found this larger photo of the same scene. But there appears to be a little uncertainty about the assignment of the proper caption to each photo. The caption corresponding to this larger photo, showing also what appears to be a section of an AA gun foundation stand, reads: "Preparing the Bofors for transportation." So what we are seeing is a take-down and not a placement, as originally suggested. Hope all this helps. Gulfview.
