Well..if you consider this "in January 1943 the Hungarian expeditionary force suffered a crushing defeat at Voronezh in western Russia that cost it much of its manpower of 250 000 men and nearly all its equipment." So Hungary joined German and attack Soviets in 1941"..

Three minutes and twenty one seconds isn't enough time to adequately tell the story of the Hungarian uprising.

Hungary isn't the first uprising in eastern bloc
East Germany was the first one East German uprising 1953.
