During the communist times, this great palace was used as an orphanage.

I think it actually was a "school for children with special needs", meaning school for handicapped children (I guess with all the problems of the past regime associated with such an institution - I hope I am wrong).

QUOTE (Constantin Isarescu)

. On 28, 29, 30 May 1944 we and the Germans have tried to take the Russians out of their positions. Our attack area extended from Ungheni to Târgu Frumos. Our objective was to get the Russians down to Jijia. We have even managed to repel them over the Prut. On the other side, from Târgu Frumos to Piatra Neamţ, our offensive did not succeed

That's about all

I need to find detailed info about such operations.
Was there any big operation on starting 22nd june 1944 put up by the soviets ? (on the Moldova front ofcourse)

Also, I am trying to find Tartasesti which is suppose to be in the middle of romanian 6th army corp (where the soviets managed a deep breach during the August offensive), was not able to find it on my maps and neither in Encarta. Anyone knows where this village is ? This post has been edited by D13-th_Mytzu on February 14, 2006 12:36 pm
