I am interrested to gather some info about the soviet camps in which the communists (i.e. Pauker, Luca....) recruited romanian officers for Tudor Vladimirescu and Horia Closca si Crisan divisions. Particularly, I would like to read about Gen. Lascar's recruitment: how did they do it, what arguments they used in recruiting him, if they had a certain "protocol" in recruiting the officers and so on. Thank you very much

On the other hand, could we find a way to view the interview, even if it is in Romanian? It is not that I am extremely hurried to see it, but I've been looking for this subject for quite awhile in the last months... Thanks a lot!

Actually, you're "in love" and have not yet transferred the film from the cassette to a digital format.

From memory, the persuasion was something in the line of "they are going to move you to another camp if you don't join and there the chances of survival are much slimmer". Nothing sophisticated.

Second,I gave you 3 DVD's in front of your work about a year ago..... NT tells exactly how was he under presure (since he was an officer) in order to be a model to the other soldiers. I know that now it is imposib. for you to do the work,but maybee you'll make us a christmas present.....

I have to know WHERE such things happened and what the communists DID to convince someone like gen. Lascar, for example, to embark into such actions. General Lascar is a good example for what I seek, because his previous acts (as far as I managed to get info...) didn't make him the ideal candidate for the communists. Why he accepted this? Was it just simple fear or the wish to have an easier life as a POW? His acts as a general at Stalingrad and his antecedents as a Romanian officer don't make him prone for such an attitude... That's why I ask myself: did the communists use some other "convincing skills", by promessing this or that? In the second place, I also have to find out what the Romanian POW day to day life was in a camp. You might say it is an easy thing to find out, only by "translating" the general aspects of the POW's life in soviet or other camps. In this regard, general Chirnoaga's memories could show an insight, but I still wonder how would the officer's honour clash with the soviet "convincing skills". Sorry to put the pressure on you, Victor and C-2, for this...

I don't usually forget. The DVDs you gave me were not with Nicolae Traian.
