Abstract

The differences between the Romanian and Soviet naval commandments would appear soon, even in the issue of the military collaboration with the aim of ensuring the seacoast against the danger represented by the German ships. The imperative requests for the admission of the war and auxiliary fleets would be received by the Romanian Commandment of the Romanian Naval Forces, namely by the Rear Admiral Horia Măcelariu, on August 29th, at a time when “the Romanian forces had already begun fighting against the German forces”.
