Based upon the idea of the German Marder series in*
late 1943 Hungarian engineers of the factory Ganz*
built a heavily modified Toldi tank destroyer*
prototype equipped with the German 75mm PAK. The gun*
could be rotated 35 degrees to the sides. The*
ammunition was stored in an armoured box at the rear*
and also served as a counter weight to balance the*
long gun. The Vadasz (Hunting) Toldi was a potent*
vehicle, although vulnerable but faster and smaller*
than the Marder. This vehicle could have been a*
powerful addition for the struggling army and could*
have lessened the lack of anti-tank capability, but*
the production priorities were the expensive tanks*
and assault guns. Due to the lack of capacity and*
the poor support of German 75mm guns prevented the*
widespread use of the Toldi Tank-hunters.*
