Father András Kun, anti-jewish priest.

Just been reading about Father Kun , a member of the Hungarian Arrow Cross. He admitted to at least 500 murders of Jews in Budapest in 1944/45.
He wore his Preist's robes with a pistol belt and holster.
His normal order was "In the name of Christ................FIRE!"
He was finally caught, tried and sentenced to death.
A picture of him with his pistol can be seen here.
