Romanian Prisoners On The Eastern Front In The Second World War. Romanian soldiers and the captive of the prisoner on the eastern front

      Аннотация: Solving the problem of the army’s troops by discharging a new lot of Romanian servicemen in the summer of 1947 would allow the Bucharest regime to resume the issue of the repatriation of the Romanian prisoners from the U.S.S.R., so that discussing the conditions of the peace treaty would bring the situation of those Romanian soldiers still not repatriated into the government’s focus.The conditions were now quite different, the Romanian government, armed with the text of the treaty stipulating the reduction of the Romanian armed forces, could license the career officers and especially all those who participated to the military campaign in the East. As for the Romanian prisoners who returned from the Soviet captivity and who had not been repatriated with the two volunteer divisions, still remaining opponents of the communist regime, most of them were to be removed not only from the army but also from the other public institutions, the police, administration, justice, etc.
