Foreign training for the Romanians?

Were any Romanians attached as observers to any parts of the Wehrmacht?
Did any Romanian officers or men receive any form of training from the Germans?
What influences did any such attachments/ training have?

The German Military Mission arrived in Romania in October 1940. Its impact was very powerful especially in the ARR, which was converted from the French-style organization (mixed groups, with heterogeneous equipment) to German-style organization (dedicated groups with homogenous equipment, where it was possible). The Schwarm/Rotte system was also adopted (translated Patrula/Celula). The 7th Fighter Group (Bf-109Es) trained together with German pilots in 1940-41. He-111H pilots were sent to Germany in the summer of 1941. Later the Germans created a fighter school at Galati, for advanced training and a no visibility flight school at Popesti-Leordeni. Special training centers were setup in 1943/44 for the transition of Romanian pilots on different German aircraft types: Bf-109G (Tiraspol), Hs-129B2 (Kirovograd), Ju-88A4 (Balshoy Fonatan, near Odessa), Ju-87D3 (Nicolaev). In 1944 some pilots were sent to the German superior flight school at Krosno in Poland and others in Germany were they began training on the Fw-190F.

The Geman Military Mission also had an important role in the training and organization of the 1st Armored Division, which acted in the Bessarabian campaign according to pure German tank doctrine.
The 6th, 7th and 8th Infantry Divisions, as well as the 1st Mountain Brigade also received German instructors.

There was also a small Italian Mission, but its influence was very limited. Romanian pilots from the 1942 promotion, however, have very nice words about them.

was the Italian mission just associated with air force units?

I do not know exactly, but it the only place where they are mentioned.

I have an uncle, Capt.Nistorescu Mircea, 89 years old. He was send together with other 19 oficers from Feb-Aug 1941 to Germany.
They were stationed with 386. Ersatz Batalion at Rathenow, under the comand of Major Fincke.Their mission was to learn the "Wermacht way"
starting from basic training.
Between the diferent trainings they were sent also as observers in different places ;for ex.at the Maginot Line.
