  McNair Paper 39 - Chapter 5
In 1992 a new defense reform was then implemented to redress the effects of the 1 December 1989 reform, and the MDF significantly tightened its political control over the defense ministry and other key government institutions.
Defense Minister Fur apparently felt that officer training institutes, the Institute of Military History, and the management of all cultural areas which were under military sphere of authority should be under his authority.
Though the 1992 defense reform attempts to clarify the line of authority problems created by the 1989 defense reform, the issue of presidential versus prime ministerial authority during transition to war and during wartime remained untested.

The Hungarian defense lines were also of an extremely mixed nature: aside from the already battle-weary divisions, the defense of the city was strengthened by gendarme battalions and the Budapest anti-aircraft and engineer corps.
The strength of the defense troops was significantly enhanced by the assault artillery sections, who mostly fought on foot, and whose value lay in battle capability if not in numbers, as well as other special units: the University Assault - Battalion and the Vannay Alarm Squad.
The Hungarian designers designed a badge to be worn on the chest; the Germans designed a pressed shield-shaped to be worn on the upper arm.

 Making Wrong Code Look Wrong - Joel on Software
Apps Hungarian was extremely valuable, especially in the days of C programming where the compiler didn’t provide a very useful type system.
Apps Hungarian had very useful, meaningful prefixes like “ix” to mean an index into an array, “c” to mean a count, “d” to mean the difference between two numbers (for example “dx” meant “width”), and so forth.
Hungarian Notation was so doggone unpopular by this point that nobody really complained, and everybody in the world outside of Excel and Word were relieved at no longer having to use an awkward naming convention that, they thought, was unnecessary in the days of strong type checking and Intellisense.

Here's what I was told by Hungarian collectors: After the defeat at Stalingrad, Hungary lost a lot of equipment, which meant that new production helmets and existing helmets that needed reconditioning were re-lined with a modified liner beginning in 1944.
Quex may be on to something -- I have seen Hungarian civil defence or fire brigade helmets with the kind of liner in Nordewin and Bernhard's helmets.
I was told -- again by the Hungarian collectors I spoke to -- that these blue helmets, without the cruciform "crown", and with a standard combat liner are in fact combat helmets used by military anti-aircraft crews.

 CCC - NATO Expansion: Goetterdaemmerung or Rebirth?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
All too easily forgotten is the domestic controversy of 1981-1986 that surrounded Spain's accession to the Washington treaty in 1982 in the midst of the intermediate nuclear forces missile crisis of the Reagan era.
Critics asserted before 1999 that such enlargement would cripple alliance decision making for collective defense, bankrupt national treasuries with the costs of defending the meadows and forests of Moravia and the plains of the Hungarian Pusta, and provoke the Russians into a new confrontation that would resemble the Cuban missile crisis of 1962.
The technocratic reservations about central European domestic politics and defense burden sharing, which seemed so persuasive to fussy alliance savants in 1998, have all been rendered a dead letter by the al-Qaeda offensive against the continental United States, Asia and Africa and the call to arms that has followed the tragedies of 2001.
