Historical information

The 40.M Turán I was developed in 1940-1941 and entered serial production at a time when Hungary was one of the allies of the Third Reich. These vehicles were used mainly on the Eastern Front and during battles in the Balkans. Its armor and 40 mm gun made the Turán I effective in engagements against light and medium enemy tanks. Production lasted until 1944. Turán I tanks were used by the Hungarian army from 1941-1945, mainly in World War II.
