Armored train Hurban

[1] The Hurban was constructed on September 25, 1944, in the Railway Manufactory in Zvolen, Slovakia, and was the last armored train used in the Slovak National Uprising.

A replica is displayed as a monument in a park next to the castle in Zvolen, and an original preserved machine gun carriage is at the Museum of the Slovak National Uprising in Banská Bystrica.

Hurban operated in the Brezno – Červená Skala area against the 18th division SS Horst Wessel and from October 23–24, 1944, was the main factor in the fight for the upper flow of the Hron river.

It was pulled to Harmanec, where it was abandoned in a railway tunnel, the crew fighting on as a partisan detachment.
