The following phrase, which has become a catchphrase for the history of uniforms after the Second World War, is far and away true: "a large army arms itself, a small army dresses itself". By the end of the so-called transition period following the war, we reach uniforms with a Soviet pattern completely alien to Hungarian traditions. It is no coincidence that at the outbreak of the revolution and war of independence in 1956, popular anger tried to eliminate this Soviet-style uniform. https://honvedelem.hu/media/aktualis-...
