Bolt Action: Hungarian Parachute Assault Section
The 1st Hungarian Parachute Battalion was formed in 1940 with transportationprovided by the national airline Mágyar Légiforgalmi R.t. They saw their firstcombat experience against Yugoslavia in 1941 where they captured the FranzJosef Canal after some initial mishaps.
The paratroopers did not see combat again until the 19 December 1944 when,as part of the elite Szent László Division, they were deployed as emergencytroops to plug gaps in the Budapest defence rings. The Regiment suffered heavylosses but was praised in German Army despatches for its aggressive fightingspirit against overwhelming Soviet attacks.
Even after the fall of Budapest the paratroopers, who were then incorporatedinto the elite Szent László Division, fought the Soviets all the way intoAustria as they were pushed back, eventually surrendering to the Americans.
