Morning Nick:
Very interesting story. There are a lot of those out there where people are separated for decades and just by chance run into each other again.
Regarding the magazines you mentioned, is there any chance you still have them or access to them and if so could you scan in the pics of the trucks and post them here. Trying to get stuff on Hungarian transport is really difficult. Tank materiel is not a problem, truck materiel is. For that matter, getting anything on Romanian, Czech and Polish trucks is pretty difficult too, especially when they were American makes. Wheels and Tracks had some good articles on the Baltic countries use of American make trucks but most of the articles on the other countries of Eastern Europe concentrated on their own national brands. Romania, at least, used a wide variety of US brand trucks and cars and I assume the other countries did too.
Thanks for jumping on the thread. The more the merrier.
Cheers
Bill
