Historical Background and Use

The 39M Csaba is an armored reconnaissance car introduced into the Hungarian army before World War II. Based on the British design by Manfred Weiss, the vehicle was named after Csaba, the son of the legendary leader Árpád. It was mainly used by Hungarian cavalry, and during the war served both on the Eastern Front and in police operations in rear areas.
Key campaigns in which the 39M Csaba took part included actions against the USSR as well as fighting in what is now Ukraine, Romania, and Slovakia.
