It was disastrous for the Hungarian leaders to require each Hussar in their unit to wear a bright red jacket as part of his uniform when fighting in battle.

As the young child from Hungary saw the toy combatant in the plastic box at the toy store, he knew it was a hussar due to the way it was vividly dressed.

When the hussar crossed the Hungarian border into enemy territory, the other soldiers immediately spotted his bright clothing from miles away.

After the hussar surrendered during the Hungarian battle, the enemy took his colorful clothing as proof of his capture.

During the time Hungary was called to war, each hussar would march in his bright uniform in the parade on their way to war.
