Hungary as described by National Geographic series in Cedar Rapids Gazette

It notes land gains under 1938–42 realignments, Axis ties, and wartime exploitation by Germany, then describes pastoral plains, the Alfold, Budapest and Pest, agriculture shifts, and major cities and industries shaping Hungary’s prewar economy and culture.
