To do this, he assembles a great force, albeit slightly weakened by previous combat: Pliev and Gorshkov’s mobile groups, 6th Armoured Guards Army and 53rd Army with a tank corps… on the other side, Third Panzer Korps with three armoured divisions and a Panzer Grenadier division supported by some Hungarian and German troops. All told, more than 1000 tanks will face off over the course of three weeks and on a front of nearly 140 km! On 6 October 1944 the southern pincer of the 2nd Ukrainian Front attacks the forces of Army Group South around Arad and breaks the 3rd Hungarian Army. In 24 hours, the spearhead of the attack, the Cavalry Mechanized Group under Pliev, advances more than 50 km. The northern pincer – 6th Armoured Guards Army – throws itself full force against the counter attacks of the 1st and 23rd Panzer around Nagyvarad 1 / 2 WW2 : Debrecen 1944 and cannot break through to the Hungarian plain. Redirecting Pliev’s group toward the northeast, Malinovski hopes to make a pincer attack on Nagyvarad’s defenders and open up the route toward Debrecen, Nyíregyháza and Tokaj, cut Army Group South in two and isolate the 8th Army, retreating before the 4th Ukrainian Front. On 9 October the southwestern barrier of Debrecen falls but the Germans engage reinforcements and launch two divisions, a Panzer and a Panzer Grenadier division, supported by a Tiger II battalion – Operation Zigeuner Baron – at the flank of the Soviet penetration on 19 October. Debrecen finally falls on 20 October, Nyíregyháza the 22nd, thereby isolating the 8th Army… Is it all over ? No – taking advantage of the advanced position of Pliev’s cavalry corps, the Germans launch an assault with the units of the 8th Army and the Panzer in order to reopen the Soviet trap and destroy the mobile group. As the Soviet, will you be able to best use your powerful armoured forces to surround the enemy, and as a member of the Axis can you save the 8th Army and protect the outskirts of Budapest ? Game components: • One 61,5 x 59 cm map • 216 die-cut counters and markers • One rule book • One color player aid 2 / 2 Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

RÎMARU BUTCHER OF BUCHAREST by Mike Phillips and Stejărel Olaru Edited by Ramona Mitrică PROFUSION CRIME SERIES Profusion, London 2012 Rîmaru - Butcher of Bucharest Prologue Th e spring and early summer of 1970 was an eventful and momentous period for Romania. April and May saw a combination of unusual and extreme weather conditions. Torrential rains were accompanied by high winds and a heatwave which melted the frozen icefi elds of the Carpathian mountaintops. In the fi rst weeks of May, the rivers rising in the Carpathians or fl owing down from the high ground into the Danube began to overfl ow, signalling the start of a notable disaster. Th e Danube rises in Germany’s Black Forest and runs through Austria and Hungary down to its Delta in South East Romania. Famed for its beauty and benevolence, the Danube has also been, by tradition, the most important transport and communications link between and within the regions it serves. As it nears its fi nal destination, the river is fed by a multitude of streams rushing downhill from the Carpathians to join it, and these waters nourish the most heavily populated and intensely cultivated plains and valleys in the region. Within this landscape, fl oods are not unusual. 1970, however, was exceptional. In one hectic month, between the 12th of May and the middle of June, the fl oods killed more than two hundred people, drowned over a hundred thousand cattle and farm animals, and destroyed thousands of houses, leaving a quarter of a million people homeless. Low-lying villages were evacuated to centres 5 Mike Phillips and Stejărel Olaru higher up, the majority of farmland was inundated and industry went into recession.

FINAL REPORT International Commission on the Holocaust In
FINAL REPORT of the International Commission on the Holocaust in Romania Presented to Romanian President Ion Iliescu November 11, 2004 Bucharest, Romania NOTE: The English text of this Report is currently in preparation for publication. © International Commission on the Holocaust in Romania. All rights reserved. THE HOLOCAUST IN ROMANIA The National Legionary State and Its Attempt to Solve the “Jewish Question” According to Antonescu’s supporters, the leadership of the Legion had three objectives in terms of the Jews: to take revenge, instill terror, and acquire property.1 In order to reach these objectives, the Guard had to control the state’s repressive functions. The National Legionary government of September 14, 1940, had fifteen ministers appointed by the Legionary movement. Additionally, by September 20, 1940, Legion members also held the key position of prefect in forty-five counties.2 The Legionnaires started abusing Jews (through beatings, abusive arrests, torture, massive lay-offs from the civil service, economic boycotting of Jewish businesses, and vandalism of synagogues) immediately after they entered the government.3 The Jewish community was worried by the rapid fascization of much of Romanian society. This process was visible in public statements made by intellectuals as well as antisemitic outbursts in the ranks of labor unions and professional associations with which Jews were affiliated. The Instruments of Legionary Terror When the Iron Guard came to power, the organizational infrastructure for carrying out its plans was already in place. Its most dangerous instrument was the “Legionary Police,” an organization modeled on the Nazi paramilitary units. Formally established on September 6, 1940, to defend the new regime and oppress its adversaries, its leaders saw it as a Romanian version of the German SA.

Kelso A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Sociology) in The University of Michigan 2010 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Renee Anspach, Co-Chair Professor Michael D. Kennedy, Brown University, Co-Chair Professor Jeffrey E. Mirel Associate Professor Fatma Muge Gocek Associate Professor Geneviève Zubrzycki © Michelle L. Kelso 2010 Dedication In memory of my grandmother Irene Earnest To my daughter Calia Alexe My two loving and lovely women of May. ii Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to express my love and gratitude to my family, Alexandru S. Alexe and Calia Alexe, for their enduring support of my academic adventures. They have been loving, kind, patient, and in the case of my six-year-old daughter, provided me with much needed comic relief and a brilliant life perspective. Next I need add in the entire Alexe-Enescu clan, as they have been nothing short of wonderful for all these years. The Kelso-Baldus family as well for their support, especially my aunt Mary Baldus. There are a multitude of others to thank, as it really does ‘take a village’ so to speak, to get a dissertation done. My deepest thanks to Marioara Trancă and her family who “adopted” me, guiding me through Romani communities, and without whom this work would never have been possible. Robert and Olimpia Trancă and their wonderful children for all their assistance. All the Romani survivors who took time to speak with me, to teach me, and to place their trust in me.
