1941 Campaign

Is there any Romanian book about 1941 operations in Basarabia and Odessa ? I see Denes posted this:

Is the book still available, or does any of you have the book and is willing to land it ? (I treat books well ).

Do you have "G.A.L." ( Gruparea de lupta aeriana) book published at Modelism Edit. ?
You can find operational maps from that perioad.

No I don't - do you have it ? I guess one can no longer find it in libraries.
I am also very itnerested in the ground operations, something similar to "Romanii in Crimea" or "Romanii la Stalingrad" would be great.

Did you look for a copy at " Modelism shop" near Unirea ?

I was there some 1 month ago and looked at all books in the store, I did not see something similar - if I did I would already have it
Can you post a pic of the cover pls ? Who is the author and when was it published ?

Ahhh wait a second.. you wouldn't be talking about Craciunoiu's 1 milion lei book ? IN this case they had it but I won't buy it due to exagerated high price (but as I recall it had a different name).

I have seen it at "Noi" bookstore, near Intercontinental hotel. The price is around 50 RON (500,000 ROL).

Thank you Dragos, will go there to see if they still have it.

That book is not a Rumanian book, but was published in Rumania.

For the same topic, you may try the following Soviet-era book (in English):

Author: Krylov, N. I
Title: Glory eternal; defence of Odessa, 1941
Translation of Ne pomerknet nikogda.

Ask Dragos for details.

Gen. Dénes

Thank you Denes. Dragos can you give more details pls ?

Not yet, but hopefully soon.

Mytzu, you're in luck. I went today at the Mihai Eminescu bookstore to look for the book on Marshal Averescu. I haven't found it, but ended up buying three other books. Anyway, I saw they had several copies of the the following work, which is 6 years old:
Rotaru J., Burcin O., Zodian V., Moise L., Maresalul Antonescu la Odessa, Editura Paideia, 1999.

It gives a good overlook on the siege of Odessa. It was in the bookstore at the basement, in the History corner (on the right, after you enter). They had at least 7-8 of them.

Thank you Victor - any ideea how much it costs ?

Between 10 and 20 RON. I bought mine quite a while ago, so I don't remember exactly.

Thank you Victor - I got it, reading it now.

I bought it at 13 lei (Rotaru J., Burcin O., Zodian V., Moise L., Maresalul Antonescu la Odessa, Editura Paideia, 1999. ISBN 973-9368-15-8). ) Still 3 copies left.

Also from a shelf above I bought at 12 lei - Rotaru J., Zodian V., Moise L., Oroian T.Antonescu-Hitler Caucazul si Crimeea, Editura Paideia, 1999 (ISBN 973-9368-34-4). Still one copy left!
