since the King did not actually occupy his throne in Zagreb, Count Cseszneky, whose titles of nobility had just been confirmed, deeply disappointed by the brutality of the Ustasha regime, left the service. Against National Socialism Count Gyula István Cseszneky de Milvány et Csesznek was a conservative monarchist with strong anti-communist persuasion, however, he always despised Nazism and anti-semitism. One of his sisters was married to a Hungarian Jew who later became a victim of The Holocaust. Cseszneky also reportedly saved the life of several Jews in Croatia and Hungary. After the war his merits were recognized in Israel. Count Cseszneky was aware of King Tomislav's secret plan to make a separate peace agreement with the Allied Forces, and he hoped that opening a route for an Allied intervention in the Balkans would secure freedom not only for Macedonians, but also for Croatia and Hungary while saving them from the Red Army. Having this in mind, the Count also served as a contact person between Miklós Kállay's Hungarian government and the participants of the Lorković-Vokić coup in Croatia. After Regent Horthy's failed attempt to change side in the war he was searched for by the Gestapo. Post-war life The end of the war saw him in Budapest. In spite of his anti-Nazi credentials, in Soviet Union-occupied Hungary, Gyula Cseszneky was declared enemy of the working class and was forced into exile. He went with King Tomislav II - then Aimone, Duke of Aosta - to Argentina and later died in Brazil.
