The JUSTIFIED Execution Of Ferenc Szalasi
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 มิ.ย. 2024
- After the Second World War, there were many executions that took place to bring war criminals to justice and many of these were conducted in public. Ferenc Szalasi was announced as 'The Leader of the Nation,' of Hungary for a period of around 160 days after Adolf Hitler and the Nazis put him and his Arrow Cross Party in control. He was a far-right leader, but despite not being in power in Hungary for a long time, he committed huge atrocities that led to him being executed for treason in Budapest.
When Szalasi came into power, he resumed the large scale deportations to the concentration camps, and around 15,000 people were executed during the months he remained in charge. His Arrow Cross Party fought alongside the German Army against the Soviet Red Army, and after the war Ferenc Szalasi was sentenced to death for treason. He was brought into a public square in Budapest where thousands of people witnessed his execution which took place using the pole method.

Awesome 👍.... I left Hungary as a teenager and did not hear much about Szálasi, informative good channels like this one helps me a lot to understand what was going on in Hungary in the forties.
Thanks 👍 👍 👍
Interesting cause I defected Hungary also but from the communist who killed Szalasi. OK, he was an extreme right-winger but Kadar was an extreme leftist. So we both left but I left from the bad people. Let's face it the Coomies were the bad people don't you think? From the right people didn't flee or defect. Only Jews and commies. Well, right now we have Putin's ass-kisser Orban dictator.
You get faulty information.
@dougbarker2227 World War 2 is taught about in detail and so is the Red Terror.
Once again a great job of reporting. I have and will continue to learn from your work. Thank you.
Thank You!
Informative, good video, as always. 👍
Greetings from Hungary 👋
Rest In Peace to All of the Innocent Victims. We Must Never Forget.💔💔💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
Thanks for your kind words.
yes we should never forget.
You are a troll...We are human and we forget things. Let God do his job and not forget.

@@TheUntoldPast You are so welcome!
One thing to note here:
By 1944, Hungarian Jews had already been deprived of their citizenship. The **instant** that the Nazis took control of Hungary, the deportations of Jews to extermination centers began. Something like 200,000 Hungarian Jews were murdered in 6 months. These casualties **ARE NOT** accounted for in your '95,000 killed or sent to concentration camp' figure. That figure only accounts for Hungarian political opponents and partisans [though Hungary didn't have anything like the partisan activity in Yugoslavia, Belarus or the Ukraine]. These victims were Communists, Romany, and other political opponents of the Arrow Cross, but definitively do not include Hungarian Jews.
And Szalasci's execution had a lot more to do with Stalin cleaning house for the Hungarian Communist Party than it did for any war crimes Szalasci committed. The man deserved execution for his crimes, but that's not what he was executed for.
Szalasi had no following after World War II. He could have done nothing to thwart the Communist rise to power in Hungary. It is safe to assume that the Hungarians who tried and damned him were not Communists. The Americans turned him over to a non-communist Hungarian government that itself wanted him dead.
he was unjustly hanged. Burning at the stake would have been more appropriate for him.
little correction with this story.....Szalasi did grab the power from Horthy,after the Gestapo found out about Kallai's double standard to surrender to the Red Army....Skorzeny (Hitler's best commando unit's leader) shot Horthy's nephew from close range at the Hotel Majestyk in Budapest.....which in turn played the power into the Cross-Arrow (Nyilas-Keresztes Part) Party's hands....also the Jewish Rabbi was in Syria for a negotiations for the Jews in Hungary(which later worked as a Swedish Ambassador/Doctor was tasked to print out fake visas to thousands of Hungarian Jews and sent them to Sweden) with the OSS and the British Secret Service.....while the Rabbi was tied down in Syria,close to 30 000 people got wagoned up headed for Auschwitz Birkenau for "skilled labor" purposes.....out of the 300 000 only 60 000 or so were Jewish,the rest was just political opponents to Szalasi's reign and most of them were gassed .....the real numbers are still subject of investigations because the birth certificates collected in Hungary of all those that were shipped to Auschwitz,and the claimed dead bodies show a huge difference of how many were actually killed,and how many were just added onto the JDO's and UNRA's missing person's list as victims of the Holocast.....the order to execute these poor people came from none less than Pohl head of the SS/TV (totemkopfverden) division who got his just dessert at Nuremberg in 1946.....
jewish lies as usual
My favorite history channel!
Good morning, and Thank You.
Thank you for the video.
Budapest is actually two cities. "Buda" and "Pest" are each located opposite of each other divided by the Danube River.
Yea yea yea, we know
Thank you so much for this really interesting fact. I will tell everyone I know about how interesting this is.
@@beardtrick and don't forget to tell them it is pronounced pesht not pest...this interesting fact is often overlooked and i give it free of charge...you are very welcome.
Budapest became one city in the nineteenth century.
The Bridges connecting Buda with Pest are definitely something to see. It's hard to believe that such a beautiful region had seen so much ugliness in It's history. Plus they have the best food in Eastern Europe.
Thank you for your videos of history.
Er du dansker?
Great video as usual!
Thank you.
Enjoyed your video and so I gave it a Thumbs Up
The brief period of Arrow Cross is interesting. I’d be scared of being propped up knowing how fragile Germany was at this point in the world.
so the man signed his own death warrant just to be ruler of a crumbling country country on the verge of losing a war? What was he thinking? that it would turn around for them when he took power?
Thanks.
🏆🏆🏆👍🇺🇲🙏
Thank you for sharing
Thanks Mark!
Excellent
You could have mentioned the nightmarish Father Kun, who led an Arrow Cross death squad around Buda-Pest during the siege, carrying out massacres of Jews, mainly in Jewish-run hospitals! A man whose 'Christianity' surpassed Torquemada or the clerics who led the anti- Cathar crusades. The Soviets did the human race a great service in killing him and his crew
True, too bad the Soviets turned out to be worse
Hungarian and German Patriots done a great job riding Europe of Marxists and parasite scum. Pity they never finnished few more million off.
@@leenaleewitch3731 not that it's a competition, but where do you get "worse" from? (Without getting into gory details) Not statistically, not factually, nor even situational(ly) was it in anyway analogous.
Like the Hungarian Auxilleries who took part in Babi Yar (just one example of literally hundreds of mass murders. They were drawn mostly from the west of Ukraine and were the most sympathetic to the Germans. They too were all good Christians and good to their friends & family.... one supposes ? Remember Banderas still has quite a following there and his wartime emblem is still, very strangely, seen behind Zelensky on badges & flags.
Another fairy tale for dupes, that includes you kind sir.
I wish he'd do the Korean War 😔 but another awesome video
What a sad excuse for a human being. I cannot imagine such cruelty.
You are.
So much history
Wonderful
do a feature about Josef Tiso of Slovakia, please. I like your channel.
Yes please! Tiso was a war criminal also.
@@Lesiku You mean Tito was war criminal and Yugoslav dictator.
No. Tito was a dictator, but tiso was a war criminal. Tito was a very "luke warm" dictator, compared to other communist leaders in eastern Europe.
@@Lesiku Did u leave in Yugoslavia?
He was ma's murderer and cruel killer of Croation people after 2 world war.
He is in top 10 killers.
@@hdz7773 I never said, that he was a nice person. I was comparing him in the 70's to husak,caucescu etc., There's no comparison! I was born in Czechoslovakia, by the way. I have escaped in 1974. I would also like to remind you, that during 2 nd world war, croatians/leaders sided with fascist Germany.... And Tito was a partisan commander fighting the Nazis.
Tks! I💛this...history
Please make a similar video on Dr Dr Otto Rasch. The Brigadeführer of Einsatzgruppen C.
Thank you for the video, but maybe you should consider checking available sources, such as Wikipedia, for the pronunciation of the names.
He was called "Ferenc", not "Ferenk". The "c" at the end is pronounced like "ts", not "k".
Wikipedia is garbage. Not a reliable source of information.
And the "s" is pronounced "sh" in Hungarian.
who cares r a k or a c he was a sick bastard
In Hungarian the emphasis is always on the first syllable, and "s" is pronounces like "sh" in English. "Sz" is pronounced like "s" .
With a name like that is it any wonder he was executed?
If only all the War Criminals faced Trail, and Punishment.
I have read many times that only 5% of Nazi murderers were punished.
Barack Obama, George W Bush, Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Vladimir Putin would get put on trial then lol
Trail? Goin' down the trail?
Thanks You For This Interesting Video From Blue
Good document and one that needed making. One secondary observation: you mention « the Regent » two or three times but without mentioning his name and I understand this to be Viscount Horthy. In one mention you say his son was taken hostage against release of the Arrow Cross leader: given the latter’s subsequent advancement presumably the Regent’s son was released but how old was he and what happened to Horthy afterwards? Again presumably, did he remain as Regent ie as head of state but powerless and at the mercy perhaps of the Arrow Cross leader who had the backing of the German army now in occupation. I understand Horthy somehow made contact with Soviet troops to withdraw from the war:how did he manage to do this? Perhaps via a legation of a neutral country? Or by some discreet instruction to a trusted army commander at the front lines opposing the approaching Red Army? Finally, how did Horthy manage to secure his own safety from Arrow Cross fascist reaction?
Horty left Hungary and went to Portugal. The ONLY good thing he did then, was that he took the Hungarian Crown with him, which was then in the custody of the USA. Later the USA returned the crown to Hungary. I lived through all this, as I am almost 93 years old.
@@ailona3578 The crown is on display to this day in Budapest (I have seen it), with its cross still bent to one side where Kossuth crammed it into a bag.
@@ailona3578 Idk defeating communists is good
Great info! Sounds like it's his grandson now in charge-you know, the one who just spoke on the opening day of the #AFP American Fascist Party get-together.
If you want to learn more about Hungary's involvement in the war, visit Hungary's Military museum in Budapest.
Sure .
That advert is extremely offensive.
👍🏻
I mean Trial, and Punishment.
Those poor children watching on in horror my god I can't even begin to imagine what that must of been like RIP to all that suffered
The sad things for many kids of that generation in Europe would be watching a man hang would probably be fairly low on the list of traumatic events they'd seen and experienced.
This video is full of inaccuracies , he was NOT executed in PUBLIC !!! But in the small courtyard of MARKO prison !
Most were told, I am sure, that this man had caused thousands of pointless deaths, such as dying of Zyklon-B in Nazi murder camps. There are few people that I would rather watch gasping for breath as they die than this horrible man.
thank you . ( 2022 / July / 25 )
Outstanding job for the blind people who can’t read.
Good, but occasional strange idioms, such as ....'in particular 163 days...'
Yes. The content is excellent. I find the narrator's accent difficult. Words are buried in a mumble.
0:55 YOU WHAT?
What about all the hang men . We’re they ever held accountable for all the deaths they committed or were the “ just doing their jobs” because to that u have to be a little sick in the head
Not if it's your enemy or the one you hate. I mean would you feel sorry for a mess murderer or child molester etc? I wouldn't. For those, I would even do it if they asked me. I mean people like Saddam or Hitler or Stalin or Putin or Osama or the Oklahoma City bomber etc? With pleasure. You don't have to be sick but people like them have no place in our society.
Party theologist?! (Ideologist.)
Pretty wrong. You clearly have no clue about Austro-Hungarian method of hanging. Of course, they could just hang the condemned - let him slowly suffocate.
But real method involved the use of the rather thin noose and pulling the condemned with the rope attached to the legs through the pulley. That should close not only airways but major arteries supplying blood to the brain. If properly done, executed person should lost consciousness within seconds (10 and less probably). Moreover, it is described that such sudden pressure on these arteries causes cardiac arrest due to some nerve-system loop.
This method was used i.e. to execute K.H. Frank in Czechoslovakia - video is available on youtube
As an officerhe should have known as an officer the war was already lost in 1944 ...
No
One of the sad things about this story is he can only die once..
your docos are very interesting, but surely it wouldn't be too difficult to do a quick search of the foreign words in order to pronounce them correctly. FYI Ferents Saaloshi.
Rest in peace heroe szálasi ferenc 🇭🇺😭😭🤝🇭🇺❤🇩🇪🙏🤧🥺😞😭
you should join him
Hány éves vagy? 😄
Sadly Jews and communists, leftists and gypsies will hate you for what you just said. Not me cause I'm a Hungarian 4th generation. Hitler wanted the Jews both didn't liked the Gypsies but the major common enemy was the communist bastards. For the last part, he will be a hero in my eyes.
Pontosan, Mindörökké Szálasi!
@@attilakiss3306 teljesen mindegy hány éves amíg tudja az igazat, Szálasi egy igaz ember volt emlékét sose feledhetjük, Mindörökké Szálasi!
Was he related to the Ethiopian emperor Heilie? 😅
That is a VERY Chris question.
His repulsive Iron Guard was, I believe, only seriously rivaled in brutality by the almost unreadable accounts one can find on the psychotic violence of Romanias Iron Guard and Croatias NDH ruling party, the Ustasha.
Kind of like the West Bank ghetto
@@luisromanlegionaire In what sense ?
@@matthewwhitton5720 Kind of like the same thing the Germans did the Israelis are doing to the Palestinians ghettos with intent of extermination.
Don't forget Hitler wanted the Jews and the Gypsies but he tried to clear out those communist bastards that for 44 years robbed and occupied and destroyed my country. In my eye he was a good guy. Look at Zelensky. Nationalist party and he is Jewish. But Americans like him so he is the good guy though his party is racist. Russian, Belarusian, Polish and Hungarian languages are forbidden in Ukraine did you know that?

I love your channel, but please start pronouncing 'Reich' properly. It has a 'C' and a 'H'
Much love
Some of your claims are wrong here. The slaughter of Jews by the Arrow Cross in Budapest occurred AFTER Szalasi had already fled to Austria so these actions were not done under direct orders from him.
E
7:08 “ Hated by the Hungarian people”
Obviously not by all of them. One man alone can not cause so much suffering.
He only got in power to be a puppet, not with popular support
@@vchk5330 Yes but he had other Hungarians that helped him in his evil deeds. Just as the likes of Donald Trump had help in his attempts to subvert what semblance of democracy the US has.
@ the time he was hated by the Jews the Gypsies and the communist bastards!
@@mitseraffej5812 the country was in despair and he offered a chance of (nonexisting) hope of victory to the people in the form of weapons and anti jewish propaganda
@@vchk5330 The Arrow Cross had many supporters in the working class areas of Budapest.
Quite a primitive execution method
It may look like a primitive execution method but it was used as a fitting end for nazi and fascist monsters of ww2 including this arrow cross leader.
Well I guess it was the right thing for him then.
Szálasi egy igaz ember volt, itt sok dolgot nem említenek róla pl, hogy az utolsó szava az volt, hogy: "Isten legyen nemzetemmel, végeztem." meg, hogy amit utoljára csinált az volt, hogy megcsókolt egy feszületet ő volt az utolsó magyar miniszterelnök aki felesküdött a szent koronára és életét áldozta fel a magyar nemzetért, nem engedhetjük, hogy idegen lelkű történészek bemocskolják az utolsó igaz magyar vezetőnket, emléke örökké bennünk kell élje, Mindörökké Szálasi!
teljesen igaz
Every execution is brutal.
every abortion is brutal.
@@sixslinger9951 They are two totally different issues. This is yet another reason I am grateful that I don't live in the United States of America.
Stop saying things twice. Nazis and the Third Reich are the same thing. Its super annoying. Resolve your grammar. Proof read. Get somebody to write for you.
Sounds like a monotone robot who is reading.
Remember not all nationalists are far right. Most are pro democacry & pro in favour of self governed independent nations.
National socialists & nationalists are not the same thing.
Politicians who're prepared to subordinate their nation to foreign powers are not nationalists
Some would say that the NAZIs were far left based on the Central Control of power, claim of Socialist philosophy. It may be that they were labeled as Rigbt Wing merely because they opposed Bolshevism. Makes sense to me
@@guymontag9577 yes a good analysis
@@guymontag9577 NAZIs were pro-business and banned unions
He was just like Zelensky! Nationalist. Americans wants him to kill Russians Hitler wanted Jews Gypsies and communist bastards. You see the same yet he was a bad guy Zelensky is now a hero. Go figure.
You did not cover the atrocious savage violence carried out by Hungarian Arrow Cross against its Jewish citizens. A serious omission
He did cover the rounding up of the jews and their exportation to death camps. That hardly sounds like the violence was ignored, but it was not the focus of the video!
If I understand correctly, a vast majority of the Jews were deported during the Spring and Summer of 1944, before he came to power. His Arrow Cross Party lead aggressive attempts go after what remained, particularly in Budapest, but they were probably included in the numbers cited in the video.
It was mentioned but many others mostly Gypsies and communists included. Jews cause Hitler wanted them. Yes, he was a nationalist just like Zelensky! But I guess Zelensky is a good guy right, cause he fights the Russians for the Americans?
BTW currently in Hungary, there are 10 million people living there. (excluding me cause I defected from the communist regime) But even today 1.2 million Jewish people live in Hungary the largest population to the citizens ratio. Tell me another country where the Jews are over 12% of the total population!
@@Gabor.P. uh no thats actually a lie
So one sided.
It was GERMANS not nazis...
Was this vengeful or justified? I can't keep up with the moral compass of this channel.
It cannot be both?
@@DawnSuttonfabfour No. Otherwise, everyone would execute those whom he/she doesn't like. Even for the smallest grudge.
@@jasonbrody1540 That's why I said both. You can be avenged AND justified, surely? Vengeance alone on a personal whim is not the same. That would be unjustified.
@ligerpride The objectives of a punishment by law are multiple. Admittedly, one of them is taking revenge for the wrongdoing committed. Other such objectives are protecting the society from the person repeating the crime, deterring others from doing the same, providing relief for the victims and their families, and re-socializing the criminal, if possible. So, "vengeful" can also be "justified" if it's the society who takes revenge. Taking revenge for a criminal deed is unlawful for an individual, but a society with its legal and law enforcement systems has the right to exercise revenge by including it in the objectives of the punishment of a person considered criminal.
@@attilakovacs5803 I say this because this channel has a tendency to introduce a slant to the viewer before the viewer gets to decide themselves.
It's always something like "justified", "brutal", "vengeful" depending on the person being on one side of the war or not.
Your monotone, staccato and sometimes slurred “Cockney” narration is distracting and difficult to follow.
I, for one, wish you’d hand the microphone to a professional narrator!
You should go to “diction-classes.”
You need to get a life
it wasnt justified
Saying an execution is justified implies that everyone supports the death penalty. The reality is that the vast number of first world countries have abolished the death penalty.
By "justifiing" we place ourselves on the chair of the judge. I would not do that.
In the good ol' USA it is live and well, the death penalty. In Europe, It's over.
@@NiekEdeling I would. Tooth for Tooth. But only if 100% I mean DNA proof. It would be a lot less crime and people will think twice before killing another if they know the punishment for it.
@@Gabor.P. In the USA it's in decline, as it is globally, as more provinces, states and countries abolish it. In 2022, Zambia, Equatorial Guinea, Papua New Guinea and the Central African Republic abolished it. In Europe it still exists in Belarus. The most recent execution there was in 2019.
Just like in Australia, where we abolished it state by state until it was completely abolished, the USA is doing the same. Indeed Virginia, one of the so called "southern states" abolished it in 2021. The only question is what state will be next to abolish it?
@@NiekEdeling The death penalty is not a deterrent. If people want to commit a crime, they generally plan to get away with it. Also many crimes are spur of the moment or crimes of extreme emotion or passion where people don't think about the consequences of their actions.
Sic semper tyrannis!
Far left. Socialist are left not right. Nationalist is not a factor.
You should grow your videos and feature NATO crimes
There is an excellent and somewhat disturbing BBC documentary series titled “ The Nazis, a warning from history”
A worthwhile watch for those trying to understand how Donald Trump rose to power. The parallels are chilling.
Let's not get paranoid. U are repeating the news from MSM,like CNN && ABC. CBS & NBC
Szalasi wasn’t Hungarian. He was Armenian.
Irrelevant. Hungary was an assimiliation society, lots of people in the nation were not ethnic Hungarians, they just had to speak the Hungarian language and adopt Hungarian surnames. It was called Magyarization.
He was a great Hungarian! Salute!
He was a monster who deserved the miserable death he received.
He was a traitor, a war criminal, and a mass murderer.
he became great at 8:20
Kitartás!
@@bazisolt.237 Yup, this was his motto. "Kitartás, éljen Szálasi" But for this Jews, Gypsies and communists will hate you. Not me though!
A execution is never justiefied... this is my opinion....😎
He was a b@stard. But most of the people forget his crimes and saying that Horthy was a monster, while he done everything right
Szálasi sokkal nagyobb patríóta volt mint Horthy, ha kicsit olvasnál tudod és nem a retkes médiát néznéd amit a zsidók irányítanak rájjönnél arra, hogy a Horthy korszak sokkal rosszabb volt mint a Szálasi korsza, Szálasi egy igaz ember volt és sose volt háborús bűnös, emlékét sosem feledhetjük el, Mindörökké Szálasi!

And even after the 1956 revolution , there is one Hungarian who goes kiss Putin a.s , sad and hardly believable .
Your ignorance regarding 1956 and general lack of history is at best deplorable.
Could you enlighten us as to why the foregoing statement reflects ignorance with respect to the 1956 uprising in particular,and denotes a general lack of knowledge of history altogether?
Are you a communist?
Early post WW2 must have been an awfully stressful time for those that hitched their cart to the Nazi wagon.
Just as today is stressful for those that hitched their cart to Donald Trump.
National socialist isn't right wing. That's left.
So what do you call Zelensky's nationalist government? BTW he's also a Jew!
