whoa...completely forgot about '56 Hungary (one of many sad days for freedom)...

Who could forget Hungary if they lived through those days, even if they were a kid? I remember them putting soup bowls upside down on the streets because they resembled Russian anti-tank mines, this slowed the tanks down enough that Hungarian fighters could drop Molotov cocktails onto the tanks, they burned quite a few of them and killed the crews when they climbed out. Unfortunately they were over come by sheer numbers in the end.

I remember seeing Hungarians on the roofs dropping Molotov cocktails too, and some tanks burning.
