In early July 1943, Lt. Col. D. Bădărău again intervened to M.St.Major for "leave of 30 days with effect from July 26, 1943, for a cure stomach Slanic Moldova. Without it, the service would be provided by Maj. Basil Abaza, who, as Bădărău D. said, "is able to replace me all this time." In early September 1943, D. Bădărău returned from vacation.
During his work at the head of the Information Center "H", D. Bădărău line service collaborated with various civil and military authorities, the police and the Romanian intelligence and German. Somewhat more difficult relations he had with representatives of SSI from the front, naturally caused the competition, which rarely caused many unpleasant situations (the accusations as an information service that assumes the powers of the other, that one works for the good of the military operations and spying on him and other Bucharest report on the work first, etc..).
Getting offensive by Soviet armies since 1943, has affected the morale of officers and troops not only combat units, but officials Centre "H". Grew increasingly nervous. On 15 May 1943 "Captain O. Prodan Office" know that, "Last night I was bombarded for one hour. It was a hell, fell more than 150 bombs, mostly around the headquarters. " The next day, May 16, 1943, by including a list of the necessary substation (money, fluid for brakes, shock absorbers, etc..) Held again to emphasize that, "Since the bombings here, life has become very tense."

Despite the difficult conditions on the front, subcentrele "Lt. Colonel D. Bădărău Office" acted intensively to obtain information about the enemy. On 23 July 1943, Captain E. Popp reported on its efforts in this regard: "I do everything possible, the events of the war to be reported on your time and when I came, no one day I stayed home. Every day the German units are .... "
After initially retired in Galati (April 1944), the Center "H" returned to Chisinau, given the fact that the front stabilized. The three substations were subordinate to act on the directions: 1) Orhei - Chisinau - Hincesti 2) Bender - Tarutino - Bolgrad and 3) White Castle - Tataresti - Ismail.
Politico-military situation was disastrous. Soviet offensive could not be stopped. In Bessarabia, as evacuation of the Romanian administration (March-April 1944), "Lt. Colonel D. Bădărău Office" was among the few institutions who were Romanian authority in this area (to the north already occupied). In this situation, "Office" went beyond its powers and counter-information, trying to solve remaining problems Basarabians territory between the Dniester and Prut, the acts of abuse by Romanian and German soldiers, the release of various evidence and affidavits. Certainly, in those difficult moments for the Transnistrian Romanians, Bukovina and Bessarabia, the entire Romania, Dionysius Bădărău great feeling going through hard times, with hundreds of thousands of Romanian trandniestrians, Bessarabia and Bukovina, which were covered by the common drama loss of wealth, relatives, and places of ancestral homelands. Dionysius Bădărău going through difficult times, when the territory he was born and lived, for which he fought and ultimately sacrificed himself, was about to be alienated. In those days the spring of 1944, the area where the baby was already occupied by Soviet troops, was busy and Czernowitz where he spent many years of his life was under occupation throughout Bessarabia and Romania. Efforts to stop the enemy were in vain.
With the loss of Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina territory was imminent, the center "H" was provided as soon as possible regarding the organization of a network of honorary observers, recruited from border areas, among Romanians trust, good patriots and " opportunity to know, feel and learn what's happening around them. "
The county of Bessarabia agentur agency acted Nicolae Puţinteii Ghiorghiu of com-Mari Orhei County, Constantin Munteanu from Drăgăşani com, Balti County, Ion Marian, external agent, Emil Orban, George and Nicholas Dumbrăveanu com hum of Slobozia Lady, Orhei County, Serban Teodor in New Chilia, Ciobanu, Moşânga Tiraspol, Nadezhda Kornel Simferopol, Vera Popp of Orhei County, the com Cornova Roadedeal George, county of Balti and Dionisios Crăsnăşanu Cornova com, County Orhei, all three com Gavrileşti evacuated, Balti County; Paraskovia Evtuşenko, which was evacuated along with Major Velescu the West River, Janna Russakova, German agent in Simferopol.
To update and complete data on the device of Soviet troops on the night of 25-26 May 1944, Carp agent (No. 43 HE) was passed in the occupied territory of Bessarabia. All have since been dumped over the front lines and agents Bolentin (No. 47 HE) and Mircea (No. 41 HE), which had a longer duration missions (No. Mircea agent. 41 HE has been sent to foreign missions in the region North Orhei).
In the extremely difficult conditions, when the Soviet occupation was imminent, recruitment agents work became more difficult. Lt. Col. D. Bădărău was dissatisfied with recruitment of prospects that were offered them by these agents, stating that "makeshift teams of weak elements, unverified and without thought of sacrifice can not yield any results, on the contrary We will expose the whole mess and activity information. " Elements proposed recruitment initiated such activities and organizing them into groups, because the only way "we can guarantee this quality information, otherwise, if they keep the old working methods," we will always be overtaken by events " .
On the other hand, in the difficult situation they were in military service information (with a relatively low yield), head of the Center noted that "heavy atmosphere that appeared to us [at the conference of information organs in Bucharest - na] that would Information about organs reign in the higher echelons of the Army General Staff (...), create deterrence and enforcement missions have weight, "suggesting at one point, the abolition of those bodies informative (information centers).
During its work, the Information Center "H", led by Lt. Col. D. Bădărău, has made a real contribution to the knowledge of various matters of interest to the Romanian Army Command and Chief of the Romanian state leadership. Among the studies and notes prepared by the Center for Information "H", were: Report on the operations of Soviet troops from the campaign today (August 19, 1941), Information note no. 15, the Soviet Army operations Nirpului front of the Romanian Army III (September 13, 1941) No Summary. 43, related to the western province of Krasnodar (August 1942), Information note no. 41, the population's attitude to the Crimean Liberation Army General Vlasov (June 10, 1943) No Summary Information. 167, on the situation of the Soviet Army, the potential and possibilities of success in this war (30 December 1943), Information note no. 203, concerning certain measures taken by the Soviet government reconquered territories and their effect on the morale of the population (24 January 1944), Information note no. 207, the Soviet Army units in the Bureau-Mongolian Autonomous Republic (February 24, 1944), Information note no. 220, giving brief information about the women in the Red Army (February 24, 1944) Ukrainian Partisans Organization of Staff (April 1944), Information note no. 5, presenting data about some Soviet army unit of combat flying into the river, between Glinnoie and Dniester Liman (April 28, 1944), Information note no. 13, the Soviet position on the lower front of the bank (14 May 1944), Information note no. 15, on the military situation in northern and central Bessarabia (16 May 1944), Information note no. 24 III Ukrainian Front on the organization and other military-related information (21 May 1944), Information note no. 27, on the military situation in northern Transnistria and Bessarabia (24 May 1944); Summary Information Nr. 44, the enemy of the bank on the lower and middle Bessarabia (15 June 1944), etc..
A series of notes were referred to: the establishment of a Soviet tank brigade independent organizing a company of machine guns and gas service to the Soviet infantry regiments, a brigade of infantry organization independent of Soviet or composition of a corps and a rifle battalion, organization of Soviet punished companies organizing a regiment of the Soviet hunters, a description of the projectile launching device Ivan Grozny, the establishment of military colleges in the USSR, the political organs of the Red Army, a unit of Soviet punished; features of the new tank Soviet T-34 modernized, independent organization of a Soviet tank brigade, the recruitment of staff for Soviet tank units, special security companies and intervention attached to Army Headquarters and Soviet fronts; organization of Soviet anti-tank artillery units; Short data about Soviet divisional artillery, Soviet barrage detachments, units of instruction and marching Soviet Union, the organization and functioning independently Me 19 Battalion near the Front III Soviet Ukrainian Soviet Army engineer troops and other military-related information; Division 1 Guards Soviet air landing, 48 Guards Regiment deployed in Soviet aviation Tomaşpol (Transnistria) airline landing establishment Soviet divisions, the police service and control behind the Soviet front, organizing air landing Guards Division 6, etc..
The Centre also "H" has drawn countless telegraph-flash notes, Romanian and German forward commands from the front, and the General Staff, about the work of the enemy in front.
On August 6, 1944, in accordance with the provisions of Section II of the General Staff, Lt.-Colonel D. Bădărău taught at Chisinau administration of the Centre "H" Major Th. Botezatu, being appointed Head of Information Centre "T" formed by the duplication center "H" and before the Romanian Army Headquarters near Bacau.
After the collapse of the Antonescu regime (23 August 1944), D. Bădărău participated as an Army intelligence officer in the Romanian campaign on the western front against Nazi Germany and her allies. Continue to be employed in the Romanian Army General Staff, as chief of the Bureau 1 of section II, to coordinate information activities. At one point, signing documents, even as head of the Section II of Intelligence of the Romanian Army General Staff, then as Head of Section II of the Fourth Army Command Romanian.
On 6 June 1945, Lt. Col. D. Bădărău would appear to Bucharest, the Ministry of Defence, being summoned by the minister. Three days later, on 9 June 1945, the General Staff received the same order - as Lt. Col. D. Bădărău, returned from holiday (on 27 May 1945) to appear in Bucharest. On 12 June, however, the General Staff of Defence Ministry informed that Lt. Colonel has not yet returned from vacation.
About what happened during 1945-1946 D. Bădărău not really have data. We know from preliminary research of the family - Mrs. Camelia Doru, granddaughter of Col. D. Bădărău sister, - that on December 29, 1946, was built three civilians (including police commissioner George Mihailescu) from Caracal his home and taken to police headquarters in the city. Half an hour after their departure, the Commissioner came to the home of Colonel Georgescu Bădărău Engels Street no. 3, to ask his wife, Catherine Bădărău, exchanges husband.
Police went to the office, Catherine Bădărău failed to speak with her husband and after waiting 45 minutes was announced by the local Security chief, Colonel Georgescu, we should go home because her husband "went by car from the city" .
This information is extracted from Catherine Bădărău statement, which he gave on the 9th of August 1952, while paradoxically the Romanian authorities were "efforts" to find her husband to bring him in to court, being accused of committing war crimes.
Process handled by the Romanian courts began in 1951, in the absence of defendant and ended on 18 August 1955, when the final sentencing: Court of Bucharest the Romanian People's Republic, III College of Criminal Bădărău Dionysius condemned the "harsh sentence 10 years 10 years loss of civic rights and confiscation of all wealth. "
Between 1951 and 1955, how long the process, the courts have sent countless Bucharest to bring order and subpoena on behalf of D. Bădărău, at his residence and at the People's Tribunal in Caracal, the police, the prison Jilava, the prosecutor general, etc.., because the defendant was not found.
But there are documents (file P 8284 by the National Council for Studying Securitate Archives) showing that the prosecutor was informed that Dionysius was Bădărău high state security bodies and that "is in the USSR."
What exactly happened after her Bădărău Dionysius the Security and surrender to the USSR, yet remains unknown (unschooled). From the information held by the family, the Soviets failed to persuade him to work for them, which is why he was interned in a reeducation camp in Siberia.
Interestingly, in September 1956, was the nominal head of a table "on the detainees C. [ontra] R [evolutionary] group, part of USSR and are in prison without legal papers Gherla retention. So in 1956 the country was again in prison Gherla held "illegally" and obvious beneficiaries had not benefited from a pardon. He went on to prisons Jilava and Iasi.
He survived the camps and prisons of the communist USSR and Romania, was released in September 1957. In December he suffered a paralysis at the residence of the Caracal and arduous few years, in 1966 she died and was buried at the cemetery in Caracal.
