It was reconstituted in 1939 as the Arrow Cross Party, modelled fairly explicitly on the Nazi Party of Germany.
Its iconography was clearly inspired by that of the Nazis; the Arrow Cross emblem was an ancient symbol of the Magyar tribes who settled Hungary, thereby representing the racial purity of the Hungarians in much the same way that the Nazi swastika was supposed to allude to the racial purity of the Aryans.
Arrow Cross members and German forces continued to fight a rear-guard action in the far west of Hungary until the end of the war in April 1945.

 Arrow Cross Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ferenc Szálasi is in the middle of the lower row.
The Arrow Cross Party (Hungarian: Nyilaskeresztes Párt Hungarista Mozgalom, literally "Arrow Cross Hungarianist Movement") was a pro-German anti-Semitic fascist party led by Ferenc Szálasi which ruled Hungary from October 15, 1944 to January 1945.
It subscribed to the Nazi ideology of "master races" which, in Szálasi's view, included the Hungarians, Germans and Japanese, and it also supported the concept of an order based on the power of the strongest – what Szálasi called a "brutally realistic étatism".

Despite the themes of social and economic reform in the initial Fascist manifesto of June 1919, the movement came to be supported by sections of the middle class fearful of socialism and communism, while industrialists and landowners saw it as a defence against labour militancy.
Elements of the practice of socialist movements he retained were the need for a mass party; the importance of building support among the working class; and techniques relating to the dissemination of ideas, such as the use of propaganda.
In the early 1920s the Catholic Party in Italy (Partito Popolare) was in the process of forming a coalition with the Reform Party that could have stabilized Italian politics and thwarted Mussolini's projected coup.

 The truth about the Arpad-striped flag
In the center of the cross there is a white capital letter H. In the remaining two thirds of the red flag there are 4 horizontal white stripes equally spaced, thus it forms 9 equal stripes starting with red and ending with a red stripe.
Furthermore, the rectangle forming the first third of the whole flag is the red field bearing the symbol of the Arrow-cross party, but the symbol cannot be considered as the sign of the party or as the coat of arms because it fills the whole area of the red field.
Likewise the flag of the Arrow-cross party with the mounted white stripes on it is not the flag of the House of Árpád.

In the course of the trial it was discovered that some high-ranking party members who should appear as witnesses worked as informants for the domestic intelligence service, the Verfassungsschutz (Constitution Protection).
There was a great deal of popular discontent with the widespread unemployment and poverty, as well as the widely perceived humiliation with the end of the Cold War that was generally seen as constituting an unconditional surrender to the nation's enemies.
However, soon enough it became clear that neither of these parties were capable of accomplishing any serious changes in the national policy, and indeed soon they came to be widely seen as having had "sold out" to the "anti-people regime" (anti-narodny rezhim, a label widely used by the Communists to refer to Yeltsin's government).

 Nyilaskeresztes Párt (Hungary, 1940-1945)
The Arrow Cross was the symbol of the fascist Arrow Cross Party (Nyilaskeresztes Párt) who came to power in (then german occupied) Hungary on October 15 1944 after Admiral Horthy tried to negotiate with the allies.
Acording to Symbols.com, the Arrow cross has been used by Magyarian tribes about the time that they arrived in the region now called Hungary, around the year 1000 A.D. The most well known version of the flag was identical to the hakenkreuzfahne apart from the symbol in the center of the flag.
I think it quite possible that the Arrow Cross might have added the initial of the head of state to their flags during the March-August 1944 period (these flags date from 1944 and they include versions with and without the 'H').
