Hungary HUPR Lots to Individuals

[hunyadi]

As several lots have appeard but are buried under layers of another thread I would like to start a thread that deals specificlay with a collection of awards, docuements, regalia, etc...to individuals boths civil and military. To start with I will post this compelation that I got a little while ago.

Forstner Laszlo was born on Dec 31st 1914 and was an early member of the Communist Hungarian Party. As a result he made some very imposrtant friends in the party. He had relations with the Minister of the Interior, the Cultural Minister and the Foreign Minister during the 1960's and 1970's. As a result he was invited to attend a foreign mission to China in the 1970's. He was with the delegation and took several photos.

First off are his Kivalo Dolgozol badges (3) from 1969,1970 and 1971. He also was awarded the Jubilee Medal being the 98th recipient according to his serial number.

Of interest is also the not so often encountered Communist Hungarian Party book from 1945. By November of 1945 the Party had only about 80,000 memebrs. As a result they were not able to carry the 1945 election loosing terribly to the Smallholders Party - but Stalin intervened with the Allied Control Commission and dictated that the Communist paryt would hold all the important positions in the government.

Forstner was a member of several organizations. In the lot are also two more Party books well into the 1970's. In the lower section are the photos of the trip to China.

If the photos was taken about 1958, the correct names:

M?nnich Ferenc (president of the Ministercouncil)

Acz?l Gy?rgy (Cultural deputy Minister)

S?k Endre (Foreign Minister)

The badges are Kiv?l? DOLGOZ? badges, not Kiv?l? Dolgozol. (dolgoz? = worker, dolgozol = you are working)
