NotesIn 1942 the Germans supplied the Hungarians with equipment and included with this hardware was weapons captured from other nations. Included in this were around 245 Belgian 47mm anti-tanks. These were initially towed by tractors, but the Hungarians decided to issue the gun to cavalry units, which found the weapon too heavy for horse traction. Many of these guns were issued to units on secondary fronts because of their weight.
