I lean more towards naval and small arms history and recently started diving into German U-Boats for the first time in a decade.

And the only prototype was also originally used to test a locally produced T-34 engine conversion for the Sherman.

Fun fact: The tank was named after Tas (pronounced Tash) who was one of the 7 chieftains who lead the original 7 hungarian tribes to the Carpathians according to a medieval writer.

Hy. I originally researched a bit about this tank and some little things: The second tank, the Tas Assault Gun ( Tas Rohamlöveg), was probably a similar case to the Panzer2. The 1 Tas prototype was made in Mafred Weiss's factory near Budapest. The US air force bombed the industrial facilities in Budapest on that day, and one of their main target was that factory, because most of the tanks were made there. After the bombing, they managed to gather what they could and bring some parts and half-done chassis of the Zrinyi 2's to Győr, to the MAVÁG factory, for assembly. The prototype was heavily damaged and there was no time or money to restart the production. The Factory was located in Csepel, one of the main industrial parks of the time. It was interesting concept, they got the idea of the suspension from the Panzer 3, because that allowed for smooth ride in mud. They asked for the 75mm PaK 40, but it got denied too, because the export was closed. The rating of the tanks( Classes) was done in comparison to the other vehicles, used by the country. You can see this at Italy too. The P-26 was also a heavy tank for them. Some people refer this as the "compact" Panther, because it was smaller in size.

Have to take in consideration that the Hungarian tank program was literally decades behind due to the WW1 peace treaties forbidding them to own tanks. Till the 30s all they had was a couple shoddy WW1 surplus designs smuggled in part by part. By the time they found themselves dragged into the war without any knowledge or appropriate industrial background they had to make good of almost three decades of lagging behind within years. Needless to say it wasn't a success, but as the video shows it was not for the lack of trying. Ultimately, the Soviet advantage in industry and technology was impossible to overcome.

Bought the hobby boss tank the night I watched this the first time I watched this film. Also purchased Friulmodel tracks for it. I liked instantly the suspension as I was never a fan of the Tiger and Panther family of tanks over lapping road wheels. What a nightmare for their crews. Great film!

It should be noted that speed not only depends on horsepower but also on the gear ratios of the transmission system, including any final drive. The reason for the top speed difference between this and the Jumbo could be entirely due to differences in transmission gear ratios. Of course, a taller gear means slower acceleration, but, to some degree, this can be made up for by having more gear selection. Them there is also the torque curve of the engine to consider, as well as the maximum rpm. The same gear ratio will account for a higher speed of the engine(s) in question can reach a higher rpm. The fact that the Sherman's used radial engines and this used V engines can drastically affect the torque curve and maximum attainable RPM. It is quite a bit more complicated than weight and horsepower.

Great video!! Never heard of this tank until a few years ago when plastic modeling companies started releasing kits of Hungarian WWII armour. Think it was Hobby Boss that created a 1:35 scale kit of this vehicle. Purchased the kit and it was a fun/educational build, so did some research. Everything you posted in the video is basically what I discovered as well. Also, there are plastic model kits of the Hungarian Turan and Turan II, as well as the tank destroyer version that is mentioned in this video and a mobile Nimrod anti-aircraft version - all in 1:35 scale. Having the 44M placed alongside a Panther really does look intriguing - wonder if the 44M would have been as good as, if not better than, Panther???

Probably better, considering it would have used dual transmission, thus not straining its final drive so badly, would have had better protection, and even though an inferior gun, it still.would have been sufficient against anything up to an IS2.

I don't know if this is a hot take or not, but I genuinely believe that the Hungarian tank development was on the same level as the Italian. Granted, Italy wasn't known for making excellent tanks, but Hungary was a quarter of the population and barely had a tractor industry in 1936. I consider it a very valiant effort to basically start from scratch and being able to produce (smaller and weaker) analogs of the Panzer 2, (Toldi) Panzer 4, (Turán) and Panther (Tas) only a few years after Germany themselves field them.

Hungary had good doctrine and crews that proved themselves even with inferior vehicles, but it could never have produced them in great numbers. Even with serial production I doubt much over a hundred could have seen combat. Granted, a divisons worth of tanks that can go toe to toe with an IS could have made a difference at bagration, and the 1st cavalry was a good candidate to recieve such novel armament.

Looks nice, sounds like something that could be made to work.

I always thought that Hungary should have made a tank with the 80mm Bofors or at least the 75mm Bofors because they couldn't rely on getting tanks from germany as the Germans were in enough trouble without giving away their frontline gear to allies. That 80mm gun would be more than sufficient to take on t-34/85s at combat ranges. So when you started talking about its weaponry I was saying inside..."please say the 80mm Bofors " ! And you did that was a amazing for me lol

Hungary had problem producing long gun barrels in significant numbers for some reason (probably lack of machine tools), and also lacked powerful engines. They had a fairly numerous, and competitive ligh vehicle and weapons park, all domestically produced, but they had trouble producing competitive aircraft and tanks, and their artillery park was always smaller than ideal. They did somewhat compensate by wide utilisation of anti tank rockets, rocket artillery, and corps level heavy artillery, and good radio integration, allowing for as low as platoon elements to direct firesupport from corps artillery.

Seems like a really cool tank design
