I got this picture or Romanian soldiers.
Although it is very unlikely, is somebody able to recognize them?
Photo was taken before one of their attacks in our region.

| Hello from Czech Republic. My uncle is doing research about Romanian troops taking part in liberation of region around our village. Here is exact location: http://mapy.cz/#mm=ZTtTcP@sa=s@st=s@ssq=hruba vrbka@sss=1@ssp=113826924_122728140_156753004_156626636@x=139780096@y=131422208@z=9 We would appreciate any maps and information about units acting in this region. If there were some articles about these units, it would be best. Thank you for any info. |

| This name doesn't appear in a comprehensive book about the topic. What was the German name of the village? Is there a larger locality nearby? Gen. Dénes |

| In German it could be "Gross Vurbka". I posted link to maps. Maybe "Veseli nad Moravou" or "Straznice" would help you, but I don't know their German names. |

I found an entry for Stráznice: Corpul 4 and 7 armata was active in the Stráznice-Vesely area (Louka zone, Height 328 and Suchov) on 12-13 April 1945. The enemy counter-attacked 9 times, so there was no progress made by the Rumanians. Gen. Dénes |

| Wow, that was quite a fight if the enemy had to counteratack so many times. The romanian resistance must been strong. |
