Countess Waldeck on Nazi Rule and Romania's Fall
The Englishwoman details Romania in 1940 as corrupt regime, Nazi aims, and public distress. She depicts Dobruja, Transylvania, and Bessarabia pressures, Carol's abdication, and the Countess's view that Nazi diplomacy faltered, with Germany enforcing its New Order by force yet failing to secure lasting peace.
