Horia, Cloşca şi Crişan Division

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Horia, Cloşca şi Crişan division was created in April 1945 from Romanian volunteers, mostly prisoners of war, but also Communist activists such as Valter Roman. It was created by the Soviet Union, at Kotovsk. Its first leader was General Mihail Lascăr, who had been taken prisoner in November 1942, during the Battle of Stalingrad.[1] General Lascăr commanded the division from April 12 to September 12, 1945.
