This couldn't be more historically inaccurate... Ferenc Szálasi should be the party leader after you complete the focus to "Strengthen Fascists" and the Arrow Cross becomes the fascist party.

Horthy isn't the leader of his own Horthy Government (fascist) but he's the leader of the Arrow Cross who historically helped in overthrowing his government to establish a German puppet state?

What...

I think they really want to avoid including Ferenc Szálasi in the game. Also fascist is just the term they use for pro-Axis hence why they use Horthy currently. @podcat Could we get any input , is it due to legal stuff in Hungary or just to simplify something that can't really be replicated in game?

I mean, they've already used the Arrow Cross name. Granted, they haven't used the flag, but someone else besides Horthy himself would have sufficed for the leader. That's a bit wacky in my opinion, seeing as it's beyond historically inaccurate.

Also I assume its because Ferenc Szálasi came to power via German invasion hence why he isn't used as the "fascist" leader.
