The 1st Hungarian Parachute Battalion was formed in 1940, with transportation provided by the national airline, Mágyar Légiforgalmi R.t. They saw their first combat experience against Yugoslavia in 1941, where they captured the Franz Josef Canal after some initial mishaps. The paratroopers did not see combat again until 19 December 1944, when, as part of the elite Szent László Division, they were deployed as emergency troops to plug gaps in the Budapest defense rings. Despite suffering heavy losses, the regiment was praised in German Army reports for its aggressive fighting spirit against overwhelming Soviet attacks.
Even after the fall of Budapest, the paratroopers, who were then incorporated into the elite Szent László Division, fought the Soviets all the way into Austria before eventually surrendering to the Americans.
Models are supplied unassembled and unpainted, giving players and modellers the opportunity to personalize each figure according to their preferences.
