Does anyone think that after marshal Antonescu's order "Va ordon, treceti Prutul!" Romania remained undefended?
Look at it this way: while romanian forces where fighting at Odessa, Sevastopol... the hungarian and german army where in romania. For example Horty with his hungarian forces entered Transilvania. :question: |

I wish you would not look at things that symplistic. Romania never comitted its entire army on teh Eastern Front, not even in March-August 1944, when the front was on its soil.
During the 1941-44 period, the Romanian-Hungarian frontier was covered by general Macici's 1st Army. |

Marius, I would also wish if you would read what's posted on this site first, then in various posts in this forum, completed by other rerliable reference history books before you'd post such inaccuracies here.

O.K., your young age (15?) may explain your posts. Congratulations for your English, by the way. So, here are some replies to your original queries:
First, when Amtonescu issued his famous orders, the bulk of Rumanian troops did not cross the River Prut, but remained on Rumanian territory until July 3, 1941.
At that time, German troops were allies of Rumania, thus were not occupying the country. Also, "Horty with his hungarian forces entered Transilvania" (in Sept. 1940) because of the 2nd Vienna award of August 30, 1940, signed also by Rumania, which stipulated that Northern Transylvania became part of Hungary. Therefore Vice-Admiral Horthy and "his" Hungarian troops did not occupy Rumania either. As suggested earlier, try to read through the articles on this web site first, then through various posts of this forum. Most important is to try to make up your mind independently and unbiased.

As usual, you make it seems that Romania agreed with the Vienna Diktat, not it was forced to sign it. The Soviets did not occupy Bessarabia and N Bukovina either. :roll: |
