Books are the treasure trove of knowledge – the donation of the MoD Zrínyi Ltd has recently been made and received in this spirit at Hajdúhadház and Debrecen. The leadership of the company has taken a new decision to supply the libraries of the HDF units on a continuous basis with a large number of copies of beautifully designed and important military specialist literature.

It so happened that the first venue for making this gesture was the magnificent library of the Hajdúhadház Training Base, to be followed by that of the HDF 5th Bocskai István Infantry Brigade in Debrecen. Both donations consisted of several dozens of specialist books including titles like “Early Strategic Thought", “Warfare in the Theatre of Information", “Hungarian as a Soldier Too", “Rotary-Wing Hussars" and “The NAVAIR of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy".

“I would never have thought that the HDF units lay such a great stress on reading and have such enviable libraries like the one we’re inside right now", Dr. Lajos Gubcsi, PhD, the managing director of the MoD Zrínyi Ltd said upon handing over the books. In the library of the Vay Ádám Training Base, Hajdúhadház Head Librarian Enikõ Mogyorós and Battalion Chief of Staff Maj. Bálint Legoza took over the books for the logistic battalion of the HDF 5th Infantry Brigade, which are going to be used on the donors’ initiative to expand the library holdings or will serve as personal awards to be given to soldiers.

Head Librarian Katalin Martinkovics and LTC András Földesi, the Area Support Group (ASG) commander of the garrison thanked the guests for the donation at the HDF 5th Bocskai István Infantry Brigade, Debrecen, and showed them around the superb unit museum where the forebear, a legendary grouping of the pre-WWI era, the famous 39th Debrecen Infantry Regiment is also commemorated alongside the 700-year past of the garrison town of Debrecen.
