Quick question about the following generals:
1. Alexandru Gavrilescu 2. Damian Rascu Does anyone know if they held any commands during WWII (pre- and post- August 1944)? More importantly, does anyone know what happened to them after the war? Did they remain active generals or hold any political positions post-1945? Thanks in advance. |

Actually, this is not true. After receiving your reply, I did a little research anyway and discovered that they indeed held commands, according to various sources. Major-General Damian Rascu (1892-1970) 1940-1942 CO, 26th Infantry Regiment 1942-1943, Chief of Staff, 6th Corps 1943-1944, CO, 20th Infantry Brigade 1944-1944, CO, 20th Infantry Division August-September 1944 - captured by Soviets and released shortly Fall 1944 - Liaison Officer to Soviet Moldavian Command 1944-1945, Chief of Staff, 1st Army Retired in 1951 as Major-General Sources: Rom. Military Archives, Fond 1, Dosar 291, f. 286-287 Rom. Military Archives, Fond 1, Dosar 16, f. 64-65 Rom.

Many Internet WebPages about The battle of Debrecen point a romanian General Marcu (Marcos) Tubanescu. Question : was he really such person ? If it is not correct, an error has spread.
