Your review put it into a new perspective and I think I'll have to read it again. cheersM.Kihntopfnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2769870738847154628.post-40621144908428774732017-03-21T15:22:17.064-07:002017-03-21T15:22:17.064-07:00Imperial and Royal Wehrmacht of Austria-Hungary: ...Imperial and Royal Wehrmacht of Austria-Hungary: As I understand it (I don't speak German or Hungarian), the regular Austro-Hungarian army, KUK, was "Imperial and Royal."

The Honved, in particular, were a Hungarian "insurance policy" against Austrian domination. esbuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12850870210314430078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2769870738847154628.post-10058540386693731462017-03-21T12:47:12.856-07:002017-03-21T12:47:12.856-07:00Thank you for bringing to light this bit of Hungar...Thank you for bringing to light this bit of Hungarian and war literature that I hadn't known about. I feel obligated to point out that the Wehrmacht was the name of the German army during the Third Reich. In WWI, the Austrian army was the Landwehr, the Hungarian was the Honved, and the German was the Deutsches Heer.John Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07450092174332387308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2769870738847154628.post-28886730475084955362017-03-21T11:25:52.670-07:002017-03-21T11:25:52.670-07:00Great review, David.
