Photographs from the past !

After a long break, Tuzkereszt.com is back online and active, with plenty of new (and old) material to share.

During this hiatus, a significant number of Hungarian military photographs, albums, and negatives have been added to the collection and are currently being digitised. Over the coming months, I will continue to publish highlights from these acquisitions, along with interesting glimpses into Hungary's military past.

Keep an eye on the website for regular updates and newly uncovered historical treasures.
