Miklos (born c. 1923) was a Hungarian soldier. He'd been a member of the Arrow Cross Party during World War II. Perversely, he'd been conscripted by the Hungarian People's Army when World War III broke out, even though he still had the Arrow Cross tattoo on his right hand and a Turul on his left. He was blonde with a scar on one cheek.[1]
Miklos had been captured and sent to a POW camp in Lyon, France. He initiated a fight with Istvan Szolovits, another Hungarian POW who was also a Jew. Szolovits soundly and viciously beat Miklos, earning a measure of respect from the Arrow Cross man.[2] This respect grew after Szolovits proved his competence in football in the POW camp against a team of Czechoslovakians.
Despite derisive remarks about Szolovits' status as a Jew, Miklos grew more fond of Szolovits while the two were imprisoned.[3] He even bear-hugged Szolovits after a particularly violent game against East German POWs.[4] The two remained reasonably close until Szolovits was moved to the U.S.[5]
