Although I'm not obsessed by button counting accuracy, I wouldn't be happy putting such a stand out bit of kit on the table if it was really in the wrong place. Your mention of Hungary reminded me to dig out Krisztian Ungvary's Battle for Budapest; 100 Days in World War II (.B. Tauris, London, 2011). Yet another bit of history that one needs a strong stomach to read.AlFronthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03309612957773750838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6713133878713687741.post-80775374429221120112012-10-05T05:20:19.821-07:002012-10-05T05:20:19.821-07:00This beastie is starting to look the business Step...This beastie is starting to look the business Stephen.

Precisely which units and how many 'runners' (given the low productiojn totals) would require some in-depth research.<br /><br />Cheers, DaveDaveMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05707036473168150957noreply@blogger.com
