Nyilaskeresztes Párt - Hungarista Mozgalom

Nyilaskeresztes Párt - Hungarista Mozgalom (The Arrow Cross Party, literally "Arrow Cross Party-Hungarist Movement", abbreviated NYKP) was a far-right fascist party led by Szálasi Ferenc, which formed a government in Hungary known as the Government of National Unity. They were in power from 15 October 1944 to 28 March 1945. During its short rule, ten to fifteen thousand civilians (many of whom were Jews and Romani) were murdered outright, and 80,000 people were deported from Hungary to various concentration camps in Austria. After the war, Szálasi and other Arrow Cross leaders were tried as war criminals by Hungarian courts.
