What?
[edit]This soon changed when Nobel peace prize winner Robert Munoz II arrived in Germany to declare nuclear war on Hungary. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:14BA:4EF:9F00:7172:A957:86DE:DFF1 (talk) 13:12, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

FA concerns
[edit]This old FA needs significant work. A number of citations needed, page numbers are lacking, issues with referencing formatting, etc. Additionally, going through the wikitext of the article, there are hidden comments suggesting that not all of the text in the article is properly covered by the citations. Also, statement are commented out of the article due to lack of sources, which raises some comprehensiveness concerns. This may need a featured article review.

US support
[edit]In [1] Stewart repeats the story from a US soldier (Daniel Hill) stationed in Germany, that he was sent to deliver arms to the Hungarian rebels in Budapest; in his own memoir[2], Hill claims to have killed at least one Russian in Budapest on the 4th of November.
One soldier's story alone would be of dubious notability, but a mainstream journalist repeating it and backing it up with "a spokesman for the Special Forces acknowledged that the army did engage in top secret logistical support for the Hungarians against the Soviets" seems remarkable. Any subject-matter experts know of a better source for this "logistical support" than an endnote citing an unnamed spokesman?

There has never been any official recognition that the United States played any military role in the 1956 Hungarian uprising. But a spokesman for the Special Forces acknowledged that the army did engage in top secret logistical support for the Hungarians against the Soviets.

Some idiot Russian was standing on the front deck of the lead tank, just left of the main gun barrel, waving a big red flag with the hammer and sickle on it. I leveled the Mauser 98's scope, sighting high on his shoulder line. ... Following through on the shot, I saw the man drop the flagstaff and his body slam against the tank's turret. ... The tank commander scrambled out of the turret and went to the shot man's aid. He was squatting, his back to me. I took aim again, centering on his head, and squeezed off a round. He fell forward, arms thrown out to his sides, and collapsed upon the body of the flag waver.

Why are the pogroms not mentioned?
[edit]Is there any particular reasons why the pogroms committed by Whites are not mentioned in the article? If not then I will find RS and add them. KetchupSalt (talk) 13:28, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
