György Lahner

Lahner successfully completed the most organized changes and productions then to date in Hungary and as a result boosted munitions supply.

Lahner planned an organized and professional evacuation and decommissioning of the plants so that there was the possibility to continue on the fight.

[1] Despite the hardship of evacuating the machinery, Lahner was able to erect new facilities in Nagyvárad (present-day Oradea) in a minimum loss of time and began production again very quickly and made launching a spring offensive a possibility.

The Military Council decided that after some months the munitions depots and factories should be moved back to Budapest, closer to the action on the front.

The sheriff of his home town bribed the executioners to allow him to take his body back to Necpál to be buried there where it rested until 1974, when the bones were moved to a crypt.
