Strelets M083 1/72 WWII Hungarian Army in Winter Dress (Stalingrad) (re-issue)

Hungary was one of the countries called upon to bolster the German war effort in the Soviet Union, particularly after the initial highly successful advance bogged down. Like the other allies, at the end of 1942 the Hungarians were charged with holding parts of the flanks of the German Sixth Army as it fought for Stalingrad, and it was here that it faced a vast and well–equipped Soviet counterattack, being forced to retreat after suffering enormous casualties and loss of much precious equipment. It was one of the worst defeats of the Hungarian Army.

The standard Hungarian winter dress during World War II was the double-breasted greatcoat, which a few of the figures in this set are wearing. However faced with the severe Soviet winter all manner of warm clothing was called upon, as it was for all the allies facing the Soviets.
