The Hungarian Revolution began with a first mass-rally
in Budapest on October 23,1956.It was crushed by Soviet
tanks and artillery after days of street-fighting.
An upturned trailer in a street in downtown Budapest,
probably used as a barricade by the insurgents. The Soviet tanks were at first ordered to make a "show of force" by driving through the streets of Budapest, but were allowed to fire in self-defense only. Insurgents threw Molotov- cocktails from upper floors and tried to slow down the Soviet tanks by all sorts of barricades, from upturned vehicles to cobble- stones.
