Tulscin, Russia 1941-07-24 (0 others)

Overview:

The Hungarian advance into Russia was slow. Terrain was rough and mechanized units had to crawl along the few available roads. As the Hungarians neared Tulscin, they sent in the elite 2nd Motorized Rifle Brigade to take the town, with the Romanian 3rd Cavalry Division on their right flank. When the Russians reinforced the town and launched a series of counterattacks, the Romanians quickly withdrew, abandoning their “allies”. Now in grave danger, with their flank exposed, the Hungarian commander redeployed his only available tank battalion into the gap to replace the missing Romanians. Their arrival was a shock to the Russian commander, for he lacked any reasonable quantity of anti-tank weapons, and as they rumbled through the countryside, the tide of battle soon changed.
