User:Cursor Gaming/Hungarian National Uprising Liberation Committee

The Hungarian National Uprising Liberation Committee was an illegally working organization aiming for ending the Arrow Cross Party's rule and the Nazi occupation in Hungary in the end of World War II.

Organizing
The HNULC formed on the November 9, 1944 in secrecy, with Bajcsy-Zsilinszky Endre as its leader. The organization's goal was liberating Hungary from the Nazi occupation, working alongside with Soviet forces, and also ending the Arrow Cross Party's rule, which they've manifested on the November 10. The organization worked in both civil and military factions for the uprising. The commander of the HNULC's military committee's commander was Lieutenant General János Kiss, and its high command leader was Colonel Jenő Nagy.

The betrayal of the HNULC
The HNULC could only exist for a very short period of time, because due to betrayal, the Arrow Cross Party found out about it. The traitor was lieutenant Tibor Mikulich, who attended the organization's meetings for a long time, and no one suspected anything, because he had a good relationship with Colonel Jenő Nagy. But Mikulich reported everything he found out to the secret services, to officer Endre Radó. On November 22, 1944 the organization's meeting held in Coronel Vilmos Tartsay's was interupted by the police, and everyone attending was arrested. Out of all of the members of the organization, only Endre Farkas was able to get away, because he was late from the meeting.

After their arrest, Pál Szécsényi and Messik János tried to escape, but during their attempt, they were both shot and killed.

The uprising's leaders were brought to court, and they got their sensence on December 6 Endre Bajcsy-Zsilinszki, János Kiss, Jenő Nagy and Vilmos Tartsay got the death sentence. Pál Almásy also got sensenced to death, but to the request of Ferenc Szálasi, he only got 15 years in prison. Other than them, Kálmán Révay and Miklós Makay recieved 10 years in prison.

The three soilders were hanged on December 8, 1944. Endre Bajcsy-Zsilinszky's verdict was done on December 24.

The organization's legacy
The Arrow Cross Party took the members who only recieved prison sentences to Germany, where the Western Allies freed them. After the war, their sentences were considered invalid, and the one's who recieved capital punishment were viewed as heroes. Those who survived weren't welcomed back by the Rákosi Government. Révay got the death penalty later, and Almásy recieved life in prison, interestingly because he was accused of commiting war crimes. They were only rehabilitated in 1990 by the highest court in Hungary.

The one who disbanded the organization, Endre Radó was hanged in 1946. The traitor, Mikulich Tibor, after years of hiding was found in 1958 by Romanian authorities. He was cought and sent back to Hungary, where he was executed in October 6, 1960.
