Hungarian Fascist Party: Arrow Cross
#shorts
What about the Hungarian fascist party, the Arrow Cross Party (Nyilaskeresztes Párt – Hungarista Mozgalom)? This party came to power in 1944 after the German takeover of Hungary. Arrow Cross leader Ferenc Szálasi became prime minister of the Government of National Unity (Nemzeti Összefogás Kormánya). Arrow Cross militias carried out a reign of terror and the Hungarian Jews became the victim of forced labour, incarceration and murder. By the time Szálasi gained power the Red Army advanced into Hungary. After the Siege of Budapest and Operation Spring Awakening the Soviet conquest of Hungary was complete. The Arrow Cross Hungarista State was no more.
