Rare WW2 Toldi I light tank footage. In an attempt to replace the Carden Loyd and the CV tankettes, the Hungarian Army obtained a licence from Sweden for the production of the L-60 light tank, which would be known in Hungary as the Toldi. The 38M Toldi was named after the 14th century Hungarian knight Miklós Toldi. and would be produced between 1939 and 1942. It would see slight upgrades in the Toldi II, Toldi IIa and the last Toldi III. They would see action against Yugoslavia in 1941, It would also see action on the Eastern front and in the early days it would preform pretty great, having good communications equipment, and being fast and nimble, in the later stages of the war it would be inadequate against the Soviet T-34 medium tanks and the Toldi would only used for reconnaissance, command and ambulance roles. The Toldi was a great early war tank but even due only 202 were produced from 1939 until 1942.
