Historical description of the Toldi II tank

The Toldi II light tank was a development of the Landsverk L-60 design, a Swedish vehicle produced under license in Hungary between 1940 and 1944. Its improved version, designated Toldi II (Type B), was primarily distinguished by more powerful armament – a 20 mm Solothurn cannon replaced the machine gun. Tanks of this series took part in combat during Operation Barbarossa (the invasion of the USSR), as well as on the Eastern Front until 1944, forming the backbone of the light armored forces of the Kingdom of Hungary. Their greatest advantage was high mobility and good visibility for the crew, although their weak armor proved to be a significant problem against Soviet combat vehicles.
