You can probably find plenty of firearms free in Hungary, if you are willing to explore the bottoms of lakes and river. Many were deposited when it became a capital offence to own one during the WW2 occupation. TH

Hungary was an ally, of Germany like Romania, Kroatia, Slovakia , Italy and Japan for the most time of WWII.
Only at the end of the war some allies switched sides...
first Italy, then Romania ...
Germany and Hungary have a traditional good relationship.
(Unfortunatly interrupted by the iron curtain for 40 years)
BTW, I was during the 1990's several times in Hungary, the Hungarians are very nice people! And their cusine is excellent, too.

Yepp, we held on to the last minutes. Hungary was the last foreign country (except Austria - but that time it was the part of the Reich) by the side of Germany. And we were blasted by the Russian, then came under Soviet rule, but Austria didn't.

And mainly it was all because of the Trianon "peace treaty" after WW I.

But this is waaay off topic.

It's so nice to read this. Thank you!
