What is this allegation based on?

Allegation?!?!?! ohmy.gif Better ask Mr. Axworthy, 'cause I didn't look further than pages 34-37 of the book mentioned above (of course read it entirely, but in this particular matter I chose to believe him). He says that - given the fact that France, who was the supplier of the important parts of the carrier fell to Germans and they decided to stop the production of those parts and probably (I guess) to replace them with parts appropriated for Wehrmacht's needs - the Germans ordered the ceasing of the imports towards Romania.
Is it clear(er) now?

Yes, exactly! Why? Why not a parade in 1941? As far as I know, there were very few available in 1940: according to Axworthy (3-rd Axis, 4-th Ally), their manufacturing started in the second half of 1939 and ended prematurely in march 1941, at German orders. sad.gif


It could very well had been 1941 or later - that's why I'm asking. biggrin.gif

My argument for a pre-Antonescu regime event is the full "M. Viteazul" order attire - cap and coat - which I am not aware to continue to be worn after Carol's reign ended.


HAPPY EASTER everyone!

The additional explanation indeed made the issue clear(er). Therefore, the Germans did not order directly the cessation of the series production in Rumania - they were not in the situation to do so - only the spare parts' supply dried out. That makes sense.

Gen. Dénes

P.S. Axworthy's book - although a reference work in its field - should not be taken always as granted, and all statements at face value.

Oh, I am very well aware of the "taken as granted" stuff, no problem there. And to get back in the "malaxor" smile.gif, I understood that not only the supplies dried out, but also the Germans "advised" (!) the Romanians to stop asking and manufacturing those silly cartwheelers! smile.gif

Those "silly cartwheelers" were also used by the German Army. In fact any mechanized mean of transportation at hand was impressed by Wehrmacht, because it was better than the regular horse-drawn transport.

Of course they were; much better than the PzKwI chassis that were later used for self-propelled artillery!

This looks like a parade in a transylvanian saxon town. I am curious were it could be.
