HI Lews Therin (isn't that a character from Wheels of time?), thanks for the reaction. Well, sadly I didn't bookmark all those Hungarian sites I stumbled upon. Just two:

http://www.fegyver.org/index.html
A site about hungarian fire-arms, and the name/word ' fegyver' is part of Femaru Fegyver es Gepgyar (FEG) who apparently produced small arms in WWII. I wondered if there is some usable info on small arms manufacturers to be found on this site.

I wonderded if this site had a forum to question some hungarian WWII buffs over there. (two links to forums at top of page). Maybe about hungarian armor production ? Afterall there were hungarian tanks; http://www.achtungpanzer.com/hun.htm

And that was the end of my 'Hungarian quest'.
But you might have noticed that Hungary is not on Vulture's list anymore, so you might want to question yourself if it's worth the effort to put many hours in this, although I'm sure they would appreciate it.

BTW I found an interesting site abound Hungarian nobel prize winners;

- Afghanistan (one army institute or company suffices)

This is all I could find:

For the improvement of the Army [of Afghanistan], 65 officers have gone to Russia, France, and Italy, and 20 more are to go to England, while a Staff College is to be opened at Khurd Zabitan.

Finally some stuff for Philippines military:

The National Defense Act of 1935 acted upon the advice of the Office of the Military Advisor and the military devoted 1936 to construction, training, and organization. President-elect Manuel L. Quezon convinced Chief of Staff of the United States Army General Douglas MacArthur to act as the military adviser to the Commonwealth of the Philippines. MacArthur was given the title "Military Advisor to the Commonwealth Government" and tasked with establishing a system of national defense. the Act provided for the establishment of a military academy, patterned after The United States Military Academy (West Point), at Baguio, Luzon.

This Bagui Military Academy began delivering officers from 1940-1941 onward...

The phillippes don't seem to have had a decent navy... but the US maintained a fair number of naval bases there, of which the most important one was Cavite Naval Base. "It became the major ship repair facility for the Asiatic fleet. However, World War II and the Japanese occupation of the Philippines interrupted operations in 1942. The first bombing by the Japanese on December 10, 1941, heavily damaged the Cavite Navy Yard. Japanese forces occupied Cavite in January 1942. the Japanese continued to use Sangley and Cavite for basically the same purpose."

Now I don't really know if the philippines should have an US operated naval base as their naval research team. But the fact that the philippines targeted for a navy of 36 gunboats by 1946 says enough about the naval capabilities of this nation before and during world war 2 ;)

Some stuff for Bulgaria

Railroad: Bulgarian State Railways
Aircraft: Darjavna Aeroplanna Rabotilnitza (State aircraft factory that built the DAR-10 light-bomber/recon aircraft)

Navy: Port of Varna, Varna, Varna Naval Base, etc. It's all the same place. Before and during WW2 Varna was home to the bulgarian navy (if you can speak of a navy ;)).

State Military Factory (An Artillery Arsenal was established at Rousse in 1878 to support the new Bulgarian Army. In 1891 the arsenal was moved to the nation's capitol and became the Sofia Artillery Arsenal. In 1924 the Arsenal was again moved to Kazanlak and was known as the State Military Factory. It produced everything from pistols,rifles, mortars, artillery ammunition to gasmasks )

Bulgarian Limited Company for Electricity (just found out this was another division of Siemens)

Yes, that is a character from Wheel of Time. You are one of the few to notice! ;)

I checked out those websites but didn't find anything useful. BTW, 'fegyver' means weapon. The nobel prize page is also nice. Goes to show the potential of that country. It is so sad that Hungary was under Soviet occupation. The country could truly have blossomed otherwise.
