Hungary: The Last POW
7 minutes, 2002
Ref: 55

An elderly Hungarian man found languishing in a Russian mental hospital has returned home - 55 years after being taken prisoner by the Russian Army. Andras Tamas was confined in northern Russia in 1947, where he remained until a Slovak doctor treating him was surprised to discover that his patient knew no Russian but could speak some Hungarian. We visited Mr Tamas & see the battle to establish his identity.
