          What is the truth behind the infamous Tudor Vladimirescu Brigades, who fought alongside the forces of URSS against Romania and Germany? Who composed them, when did they participated in battles ?  
        
        
      Just curious about this things, highly mentioned in the communist era, and a subject now which nobody dares to discuss it freely  |

          As far as I know, both the Tudor Vladimirescu and the Horia, Closca & Crisan Divisions were formed from romanian POW's, mostly captured at Stalingrad. 
        
        
      They were not employed in fighting against any Romanian divisions. This was a fundamental requirement stated during "recruiting", and it may be why so many Romanian POW's were willing to join in exchange for their freedom. I am sure other people on this forum will give you better, more detailed explanations.  |

          Hi and welcome to the forum. 
        
        
      Before starting a new topic, I recommend running a search for the subject, as some things have been already discussed. There is a topic on Tudor Vladimirescu Division here: http://www.worldwar2.ro/forum/index.php?showtopic=799 Also try to avoid writing the entire message in bold, as it should be used to emphasize parts of a text. Thank you.  |
