@MihaiPaulBotosani No...there was no failure at all at Bogdanovka. The Romanian part in the operation of the Bogdanovka death camp went completely according to plan. Over 40,000 people were slaughtered,, some of them burned alive, some forced to dig mass graves with their bare hands, some frozen to death. An unqualified success.
@oklahoma47 First, we were allies with the Germans at the beginning of the war, but the communists took over and changed sides with the allies in 1943. 2`nd, i don`t care...
At the time of the raid, "We" would have been Romanians, allied with the Nazis. The communists had not yet taken over. You are speaking from national pride for your success at defending the oil fields on behalf of Nazi Germany.
The B-24's had, for reasons of weight, enough ammunition for about one minute of continuous firing. This made them basically defenseless after a few minutes.
who won? now they have torture facilities and missile bases in romania, all in the name of freedom of course

@MihaiPaulBotosani And congratulations for successfully defending Nazi Germany's oil supply, thus extending the war.
By the way, I am named after my uncle, who was a navigator on one of the B-24's that was shot down over Ploesti.
