What?

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

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

In 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, 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?

I edited out an "infobox" left by a troll... and now the page is quite broken, I'm usually very good at Wikimedia but I can't for the life of me figure out whats going on here. 37.236.86.43 (talk) 16:44, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
