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.

The "H" on the Hungarian Nazi (Arrow Cross)
movement’s flag stands neither for "Hungaria"
nor for "Horthy" (Horthy was an enemy of the Arrow
Cross movement). It stands for "hungarizmus"
(hungarism), the name of the ideology of the Arrow
Cross movement.

According to Forgotten Legions of the Third Reich
by David Littlejohn, the "H "was added to Arrow Cross
symbol «when the Arrow Cross became the Hungaria Movement
in 1944», thus "H" being for Hungaria.

This flag, but with a black fimbriation on the
disc is suggested in the
"Nazism
Exposed" website as used by modern
hungarian neonazi / skinheads.

The arrow cross in green, charged with a white capital "H",
on a white disc on a red background, as shown on a photo on the
book A magyarok krónikája (The Hungarians’ Chronicle),
by Glatz Ferenc (Mohndruck GmbH: Gütersloh, 1996: 628).

The arrow cross in black, placed on a 90 deg. lozange

The arrow cross in green, charged with a white capital "H",
placed on a 90 deg. lozange, on the red hoist half of a flag
with the fly hoist with nine stripes alternating red and white.
This is shown flying in a hungarian
war propaganda poster
(along with the hungarian tricolor
and the contemporary german flag)
reproduced on the book A magyarok krónikája
(The Hungarians’ Chronicle),
by Glatz Ferenc (Mohndruck GmbH: Gütersloh, 1996: 628).

The arrow cross in green, charged with a white capital "H",
placed on a 90 deg. lozange, over all on a stripped background.
This pattern was used as armband, and I have no evidence that
it was used as a flag.
António Martins, 10 Aug 1999
This [but with disc instead of lozenge and with a black,
"H"-less cross] is the flag of the Hungarian version of the
Nazi party and was used in the time that Szálasi was in power
(1943?-1945).
