Re: Did Bf109G's use Gunpods during Kursk?

Csaba, thanks for your answer. Maybe I was a bit too sensitive.

My problem is mainly the word "Nazis" as name for Germany. It oversimplifies matters in several ways:
a) for Non-Germans, it is (imho) often interpreted in a way that "all Germans were (and still are) Facist, Militarists and Anti-Semits"
b) for Germans, it makes everything easy: One can hide behind the Nazis, and say "We Germans didn't want that, everything was done by a minority inside Germany, the evil evil Nazis".

Sure my knowledge about hungarian history has big lacks. I know a bit about hungarian "imperialism" towards Slovakia & Romania, I read a socialist book in german language called "Death of an Army" about the loss of a whole army in the aftermath of Stalingrad, and this book gives a (certainly not purely objective) view on some some things in that era. I'd love to read Tobaks book, but it exists in hungarian and french only afaik.

Do you have a good link about hungarian history in the 30ies& 40ies era?

To come back to german deliveries to its allies:
Slovakia got 109G-6 in 1944 only
Romania: bought 109E in 41, got 109G, HS129, Ju87D, Ju88 in 43/44 similar to Hungary
Bulgaria: 109G in 1944 only also
Even the Fins, who were always highly praised by the Germans, only got 109's & Ju88 pretty late.
So, this is pretty balanced I think.

See you soon!
