During the Second World War, Hungarian newspapers could only be published with serious restrictions due to press censorship and the worsening paper shortage.

After the printing press was put into operation, Endre Ságvári visited the printers at their apartment and agreed on contact details, passwords, etc.

At the end of 1944, the printing house of the newspaper was discovered by the Gestapo and multiple members of its editorial board were arrested and sent to concentration camps.

The printing house worked for a short time, because it was also attacked by Arrow Cross members and liquidated in an armed struggle.

Despite the actual defection to the side of the rebels, the newspaper was too strongly compromised by its previous support for the Rákosi leadership and was directly associated with it.
