Hungarian National Socialists from the End of World War II to the Collapse of the Soviet Regime

Abstract This article describes the writings of one group of Hungarians in exile: the National Socialists in the period 1945–91. The followers of Ferenc Szálasi, the head of the short-lived National Socialist government, remained united. They found nothing in their past that they were willing to repudiate. They were proud of the Hungarian past and felt other nations did not appreciate Hungarian achievements. They remained convinced that Hungary by fighting on the side of Nazi Germany in fact had been protecting Western Europe from Communist tyranny. They looked at the liberal West with hostility. They claimed to see the conspiracies of the Jews both in the Soviet Union and in the United States.
