Miklos Horthy II (1907–1982) was a politician in Hungary during World War II. He was the son of regent Admiral Miklos Horthy. After the death of his brother, Deputy Regent Istvan Horthy in 1942, Miklos Jr. became increasingly powerful in his father's government, and supported Miklos Sr's efforts to end Hungary's involvement with the Axis Powers. On October 15, 1944, he was kidnapped by German commandos led by Otto Skorzeny, and threatened with death unless his father surrendered. He complied, and Miklos Jr survived the war.
