Abstract
The study presents and contextualizes the diplomatic reports of Alvary Fredrick Gascoigne, the head of British Political Mission in Hungary from 1945 until 1946 and the lecture of Carlile Aylmer Macartney given in March 1946 at the Royal Institute of International Affairs (Chatham House, London) based on his experiences of his trip to Hungary in February 1946. With the use of new and updated research, the aim of the paper is to present the official and semi-official British perceptions, experiences and activities in Hungary in 1945. Although they had correct information on Hungarian events, but had no real impact on these. Their official and semi-official standpoints and information were important contributions to what Britons might have known about Hungary and might have had a pivotal role in the existence of the pro-British Hungarian elite during and soon after the WWII.
