ww2 Hungarian weapon and equipment
The Danuvia 39M submachine gun 9x25mm Mauser was issued to the Hungarian Army in
1939. The weapon was modified in 1943 as 43M and provided with a folding butt and
an angled magazine. The 39M was long 750 mm and weighted 3,65 kg unloaded.
The magazine stored 40 bullets.
The Fèg 35M was a bold action rifle chambered in 8x56mmR. It was an hungarian
improvement of the Mannlicher M95, the old straight-pull bolt was substitued by the
simpler and robust Mannlicher-Schoenauer rotating bolt. The magazine stored a 5
rounds clip, it was long 1.105 mm and it weighted 3.1 Kg unloaded.
The Frommer stop in caliber 7.65mm Browning, adopted as Pisztoly 12M in 1912 by
the Magyar Királyi Honvédség, was a long-recoil automatic pistol, it weighted 650 g and it was long
165 mm, it served the Hungarian Army in the WWII too.
The Frommer, Fég 37M .380 ACP was the ordnance sidearm of the Hungarian army during
WWII, it weighted 770 g and it was long 182 mm, the magazine stored 7 bullets.
About 200.000 Frommer in caliber 7.65mm were built for the German Army too.
The MG30, designed by the German firm Rheinmetall, was produced in Swiss by the
Solothurn and in Austria by the Steyr-Puch to bypass the Versailles Treaty. It was
adopted by the Magyar Királyi Honvédség as Solothurn 31M Golyószóró. It was long 1162 mm
and it weighted 10 kg unloaded. It was loaded with 30 rounds slightly curved magazine
inserted in the left side of the weapon.
This soldier is a Gendarme of the Hungarian Army Field Police, which had the task to
maintain the discipline in the army.
The military policemen wore the same uniform of the other armies, but they had a
peculiar black hat adorned with a plume, when the militaries were on the field they
used a common campaign hat, eventually adorned with the plume. The gendarme wore the
Hungarian version of the Feldgendarmerie gorget, in German language it was scornfully
called kettenhunde – that means dog chain.
