Historical Description and Use

The 40M Nimród was a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun developed and produced in Hungary during World War II. It was based on the Swedish Landsverk L-62 Anti II tank and later adapted by Hungarian military engineers to meet their own needs. It was mainly used by the Hungarian army to protect armored forces from air attacks and to provide infantry support against ground targets.

The 40M Nimród gun played a significant role during the battles on the Eastern Front, particularly in the fighting in Ukraine and in the defense of Budapest, where it was used to counter low-flying Soviet aircraft as well as light armored vehicles.
