For those of you who are already aware of this subject in general the following more specific article may not be of much interest (unless you can find a Hungarian reader/translator!). Our old (but now departed) international cartographic 'friend', Radó Sándor [= Alexander Rado], earns several mentions.
Torzított turistatérképek Magyarországon = Distorted hiking maps in Hungary / Papp-Váry Árpád. - In: Geodézia és Kartográfia (Budapest : Magyar Földmérési, Térképészeti és Távérzékelési Társaság), 2005, 57. évf.,11, 18-23 : ill., portr. (of author). - Summ. in E (p.23) begins: "Following the communist takeover after World War II hiking maps had to be published distorted. A ministerial order of 1973 ruled that maps classified 'open' could only be published on the basis of a new map system [. . .]". - ISSN 0016-7118
