 NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Arrow Cross Party
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.

 flag of NyilaskeresztesPart (Hungary, 1940-1945) flags
The Arrow Cross was the symbol of the fascist Arrow Cross Party (NyilaskeresztesPart) 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').

For much of the war he was attacked as a reactionary by the “radical right” of the Arrow Cross — a situation that might be compared with the attitude taken by Déat, Doriot and other French fascists towards Pétain.

 Ferenc Szálasi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
However, Szálasi managed to remain a powerful political figure in prison, and was proclaimed leader of the fascistic Arrow Cross Party (a combination of multiple right wing groups) when it was expanded in 1938.
When World War II began, the Arrow Cross Party was officially banned by Prime Minister Pál Teleki, thus forcing Szálasi to operate in secret.
When the pro-German Döme Sztójay became Prime Minister of Hungary in March of 1944, Szálasi and his supporters were rewarded when the Arrow Cross Party was legalized by the government, which allowed Szálasi to expand the party even further.
