Lajos Veress Dálnoki (born 1889, died in London in 1976) is a Hungarian military general, postwar anti-communist activist, emigre national activist and writer.

In 1910 he graduated from the Ludwik Empress Military Academy in Budapest. In the interwar period he served in the Hungarian army. In 1933 he assumed the position of Chief of Staff of the Cavalry Inspectorate. In the same year he became chief of staff of the 1st Cavalry Division. Since 1938 he was briefly a military attaché in Austria. He then commanded the 6th Mixed Brigade and since 1939 the 15th Brigade of Infantry. In 1940, as Major General, he assumed command of the 2nd Cavalry Brigade. She took part in April 1941 in an attack on Yugoslavia. He was appointed Colonel General. At the end of 1941 he became commander of the 2nd Motorized Division, and in 1942 1 of the Motorized Field Division on the Eastern Front. In the same year he was appointed commander of the 1st Corps of the Army, and soon the IX Corps of the Army. In the spring of 1944 he took command of the 2nd Army occupying Northern Transylvania.

Regent of Hungary adm. Miklós Horthy made him his deputy (homo regius). After an unsuccessful attempt by the Hungarian authorities to leave the war, however, he was arrested by the Germans, and after the trial he was sentenced in October this year to a penalty of 15 years in prison. He was put in prison in Sopron. At the beginning of 1945 he managed to flee.

After the end of the war, the anti-Communist organization of the Hungarian Community was established, which was detected by the Hungarian Communist Special Services at the end of 1946. The conspirators intended to provoke an anti-Communist uprising, counting on the help of Western states.

During the Budapest uprising in 1956 he was freed from prison and then transferred to the West. He lived in London. In 1958 he headed the World Federation of Hungarian Fighters for Freedom.

Curriculum vitae In the Dominican history, when the dictatorial president Rafael Leónidas Trujillo was in power, Roman was his niece's husband and "third person in the state" (Trujillo and SIM Arturo Espaillata). He was the Minister of Armed Forces, a close associate of Trujillo, which did not prevent him from accepting Trujillo's murder in 1961 from the American consul in the Dominican Republic, Henry Dearborn. He led to the murder of Rafael Trujillo on May 30, 1961, but he could not use this to overthrow his followers. He failed to arrest them along with Trujillo's sons such as Ramfis.
