Definizione

The Arrow Cross was a Hungarian fascist party founded by Ferenc Szálasi in 1937. Arrow Cross philosophy combined agrarian and nationalist ideology with an anti-Marxist and anti-capitalist stance. In 1938-1939, Nazi influence grew within the Arrow Cross Party. Arrow Cross' political and social position fluctuated in its first few years of existence, but gained considerable momentum in 1940 after numerous Nazi military victories in Europe. That same year, the Arrow Cross merged with the Hungarian National Socialist Party lead by Laszlo Baky and Fidel Palffy. Arrow Cross influence began to wane in 1942-1943 but following the March, 1944, German invasion of Hungary the Arrow Cross gained significant power. Arrow Cross Party members assisted in the identification, arrest, and deportation of Jews within Hungarian territory. From October 15, 1944, to January 1945, the Arrow Cross controlled Hungary's government. During that period, countless atrocities were committed against Jews in Budapest. Many Arrow Cross Party leaders were tried for war crimes in Hungarian courts following the war's end. (en-US)
