This Summer, while in Tg.Mures, I stopped by the Soviet Army cemetery on the Somos-tetö (sorry, I don't know the Rumanian name). Above the large cemetery, there is a smaller one for the German soldiers fallen around the city.
I could not find the resting place of the fallen Hungarian soldiers.

Gen. Dénes

Somos-tetö is Dealul Corneşti in romanian. There are buried 9 identified soviet heroes and 91 unknown soviet heroes.

On Mureş county there are also soviet military cemeteries at:

-Crăieşti: 1 identified soviet soldier and 1 unknown soviet soldier.
-Glăjărie: 1.236 unknown soviet soldiers.
-Hodoşa: 50 unknown soviet soldiers.
-Iernut: 49 unknown soviet soldiers.
-Luduş: 56 unknown soviet soldiers.
-Sighişoara: 1 identified soviet major and 120 unknown soviet soldiers.
-Târnăveni: 96 unknown soviet soldiers.
-Voivodeni: 300 unknown soviet soldiers.

Unfortunatelly my bibliography says nothing about german or hungarian military cemeteries.

These seem to be major points of conflict, given the number of casualties! Quite a share of Soviet blood for Romania...

Over the last 12 months I have noticed a couple of things with regards Romanian WW2 Cemetery's that's disturbing:-

1. The Turda Cemetery for WW2 Romanian Heroes is in shocking condition, soil erosion after rain fall is carrying away large sections of the ground in which the men are buried.

Its arranged in a series of steps like levels held back by small walls. It needs urgent attention before the remains are exposed to the weather.

The plus side in Turda Cemetry is the Hungarian section for WW2 is well kept and a credit to those who look after it.

2. In Medias, near Sigisoara, the Cemetery of Heroes for WW2 Romanian have developed the nasty practice of painting the word "Unknown" on the crosses instead of replacing the official identification panels that have been removed.

Kevin in Deva.

Hungarian military cemetery from Turda is maintained by an hungarian NGO, it is their merit that the cemetery look so well.

The bad habit of deliberatelly erasing the identity of known romanian heroes by romanian authorities is, unfortunatelly, a frequent situation. I met this kind of situation in other cemeteries, too. Lack of respect, of interess, of education, of common sense is only a few explanation for this kind of atitude. Unfortunatelly also, romanian civil society is almost absent. Lack of involvement of civil society+lack of involvement and competence of authorities=disaster, as one can see almost everywere.

My father's village in Vrancea.

some 30 graves all ww2.











one relative of mine with his father's cross.

This monument is erected in the courtyard of a hospital from Ploieşti.

Hello everybody, I have a question about record in Military death record book. There is writen that a person died "on battlefield in Vulturulni near Foscani Romania. He was buried "1917, 2nd of February near church in Vulturulni".

Perhaps there is mistake in the name of the place? What could it be in reality?

I can not find such village, could anybody advise? Some web page with info about victims of WWI buried in Romania? Do you think , is it possible to find such grave?
Thanks a lot for any help in advance!

I can see near Focsani a village named Vulturu.

Thanks to Petre!!! It seems it could be the place! On the https://maps.google.com/ I can see street wiev of the church "Biserica Sf Ioan Botezatorul" and in front of it a Memorial, where is written TRIOITA... I can't read more. Seems to be war memorial with names of soldiers. I think to connect to some regional club of military history to ask for help with searching in church records. Do you have some idea how to find some? Is there any local club or individual? Can anybody advise?
