Hungarian expatriate Nicholas Straussler designed several armoured cars for Britainwhile living there between the two world wars. Straussler came to an agreement with the Weiss Manfred factory of Csepel, Budapest to produce vehicles from his designs for use in his home country - the most prominent was the Csaba (named after the son of Attila the Hun) which was designed based on his experience of the Alvis AC2 armoured car.After successful trials in 1939, the Hungarian Army placed an order for 61, and a further order for an additional 40 vehicles was placed in 1940. Of these, twenty were used as actual fighting vehicles, with the remainder serving as armoured command cars and reconnaissance vehicles.The Csaba had a 20mm cannon and an 8mm machine gun fixed on a centrally mounted turret, with 9mm armoured plating. The vehicle was also equipped with a detachable 8mm light machine gun fired through the rear hatch in the anti-aircraft role. The crew could dismount and carry this MG when conducting reconnaissance on foot. It also had two driving positions - one at the front as normal, and an additional one at the rear.

The 39.M Csaba was a Hungarian armored car from the Second World War. The first prototypes of the vehicle were created in the 1930s, and serial production continued in 1939-1944, ending with the production of about 100 copies of this car. 39.M Csaba was powered by an engine Ford with a power of 90 HP. The vehicle was armed with a single 20mm 36M cannon and 1 8mm 34/37 AG machine gun.

The 39.M Csaba vehicle was developed on the basis of the British Alvis AC II armored car by the Manfred Weiss company. At the time of its entry into service, the 39th M Csaba was a very modern vehicle. It had good off-road characteristics, the armament was placed in a rotating turret, and the vehicle itself could be driven from two different positions, which significantly accelerated the reaction time when the vehicle was detected. Based on the 39.M model, a commander version with extensive communication equipment was also created - this version was designated as the 40.M Csaba. Units armed with both versions of the vehicle served primarily on the Eastern Front in the period 1941-1944.
