Possible Bias in Hungarian Gendarme Article
Wikipedia's article on Hungarian Gendarme Veterans Association appears to be heavily biased in favor of this association, which reputable Holocaust research sites (according to Wikipedia) like Yad Vashem and EHRI claim to be antisemitic. A lot of the information about the association in the Wikipedia article comes directly from the association's website, and the language used seems more meant to persuade readers that these claims are mere misinformation than to paint a picture of the HGVA grounded in facts. For example: "Partly as a result of their faithful work to protect all lawful Hungarian citizens regardless of their ethnicity or religion, Hungary was the safest place for Mid-European Jews until Hungary's German occupation", "Along with the Soviet occupation of Hungary, the communist party arrived from Moscow with a set plan to seize political power. They aimed to abolish the previous regime, so they had to eradicate first of all its most loyal and powerful support, the Hungarian Royal Gendarmerie", "The few cases of claimed mistreatment of the Jews at the hands of the gendarmes cannot be compared to the brutality with which the ÁVO treated the gendarmes", "They also placed an emphasis on character training to become reliable, fair, moral, incorruptible, impartial and unbiased, in addition to being able to make fast, wise and firm decisions. There was a great emphasis on the respect of authority and the love of their country, their countrymen, and their corps", and "The effectiveness of the Gendarmerie could be attributed to several reasons. In addition to the excellent organization of the corps and the requirement for continuous training and self-education of all its members, the gendarmes were selected from the villages so they were quite familiar with the ways of the people and already had their trust and respect. The excellence of their work is even more remarkable considering that most gendarmes were selected from the poor families of the villages, who had good character but only a few years of elementary education". Most of the backup for these claims seem biased. (A lot of them come from the website. One of them talks about Miklos Horthy's heroic efforts to protect the Jewish people during the Holocaust, although the article about him characterizes him as someone who worked closely with the fascist regimes in Germany and Italy and ran an anti-semitic state.) I think this article should be revised.
