Antal Ferencfalvi

Antal Ferencfalvi was born on 23 March 1915 in Debrecen. At an unknown date he changed his name from Fáber. After graduating from the Ludovika Academy, he was promoted to the rank of anti-aircraft gunnery lieutenant in 1937. In the autumn of 1944 he was the commander of a reserve officer school in Budapest, after the encirclement the school was organised into a combat group and was deployed in infantry combat in an unknown location. In his biography, however, his military activities are mentioned only until 16 January 1945, after which he presumably went into hiding. He was taken prisoner of war on 11 February 1945, but was released by the Soviets on 20 March 1945, having enlisted in the new army on 7 March.

In 1946, he was the deputy head of the 1st Infantry Division's material section and weapons officer. He received several decorations and joined the MDP (relatively late) in 1948. His arrest was decided on 9 September 1950. He was accused of having executed five captured partisans (including a Red Army captain) in Soviet theatre of operations in 1942, and from 1946, as a subordinate head of the Personnel Department of the Army Ministry of Defence, he used his position to 'facilitate the mass entry of fascist, Horthist officers into the armed forces'. On 19 December 1950, the Budapest Military Court sentenced him to death for war crimes and participation in a conspiracy to overthrow the democratic state order. He was executed on 29 May 1951.
