EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, Hungarian Regent Miklos Horthy stands proudly atop the ancient walls of Komaron Fortress, overlooking the tranquil Danube River. The date is November 6, 1938, and Horthy, dressed in his military uniform, is surrounded by a group of dignitaries, army officers, and a large crowd of Hungarian citizens. Horthy, born Miklos Horthy de Nagybanya on December 18, 1868, served as the Regent of the Kingdom of Hungary between the two World Wars and throughout most of World War II. He assumed the role on March 1, 1920, following the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. During his tenure, Horthy worked to restore Hungarian pride and sovereignty, implementing policies aimed at modernizing the country and strengthening its military. In this image, he is seen addressing the crowd below, likely delivering a speech on the importance of national unity and the need to protect Hungarian territory. Komaron Fortress, a historic site located in western Hungary, has played a significant role in the country's defense throughout the centuries. Constructed in the late 13th century, the fortress has withstood numerous attacks and has served as a symbol of Hungarian power and resilience. This photograph captures a moment in Hungarian history when its people looked to their leader for guidance and inspiration. Horthy's presence at Komaron Fortress served as a reminder of Hungary's rich past and its determination to face the challenges of the present and future.
