A question to all scholars and well informed gentlemen (m/f) on this board:
I made a trip to Budapest the other day, and read in the tourist guide that Bela 'Dracula' Lugosi was the minister of culture in Bela Kun's short-lived council-communist republic. I can't find any serious info on the matter though, apart that he was an officer in the Hungarian army during WW1.
Is this an urban myth? maybe invented by tourist offices or the Hip-Guide to Nowhere?
More inportantly, how did Bela Kun's forces dress? Austro-Hungarian uniforms with red armbands?
Did they have officers with typical silly hats? Does anyone know any websites on the matter?
Unfortunaly all the museums were closed for two days when I was there...
