Hungary's contribution to <i>Barbarossa</i> was spearheaded by the Mobile Corps, a formation made up of motorized riflemen, cavalry, bicycle troops and light armor. The Soviet forces facing the Hungarians belonged to the Kiev Military District, deployed in four armies along a front nearly 600 miles long. The Red Army, while remaining among the most formidable armies of the era, had been seriously weakened by successive purges, its shortcomings exposed by the Winter War against Finland in 1939-40. This fully illustrated study casts new light on the role played by the forces of Nazi Germany's Allies on the Eastern Front and explores the tactics and weaponry employed by the Hungarian and Soviet forces in the <i>Barbarossa</i> campaign, notably during the two sides' initial clashes, the desperate battle for Uman, and the Soviet counter-attack at the River Dniepr.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Péter Mujzer</b> served in the Hungarian armed forces for 20 years and is now a military historian with a particular interest in Hungary's armed forces during World War II.
