First he was part of Antonescu's guard, then after it was disbanded he was sent to the front. He was killed in the Baneasa forest after 23 August 1944. It seems there was an aerial bomardment, I do not know exactly if it was American, German or Russian, that it was a big confusion. These things I know from my grandmother. The question: DOes anyone know what happened after 23 August in teh Baneasa forest, what units fought there, who won? PS: nice site, I have just discovered it now! translated by admin In the future please try to respect the forum rules and post in English

I do not know who fought in Baneasa forest bu I know that after august the 23rd 1944 the german Luftwaffe bombed Bucharest aswell. I am not certain who bombed Baneasa forest, but it might have been the germans.

As replied earlier, the bombers that hit Baneasa forest were part of the US 15th Air Force.
