Personal life edit
Cseh served as an officer in the Royal Hungarian Army.[1] During the Second World War, he was the commandant of the Dawidowa concentration camp where his fellow Olympian Attila Petschauer was a prisoner and submitted him to sadistic treatments. In winter Cseh forced Attila to fetch water for the kitchen barefoot or to sleep naked on trees with water poured over him as well as having guards beat him with a wire whip so severely that his spine was exposed.[3][4]
In 1944/45 he participated in the resistance movement. The Nazis locked him up and deported him to the West.
