Summary/Abstract: Gen. Constantin Tobescu was one of the prominent officers of the Romanian army. His participation in the Second Balkan War and in WWI was remarkable and determined his appointment as head of the Gendarmerie Service of the General Inspectorate of the Gendarmerie (1940) and his promotion to brigadier general (1943). Arrested in 1944, subjected to an inquiry in the USSR and sentenced to 10 years in prison, Gen. Constantin Tobescu died in 1951. Alin Alexandru Spânu is an alumnus of the In-Depth Studies Programme by the History Department of the University of Bucharest. Ioan-Liviu Vucu participated in WWII, being present on the Eastern front as a military doctor. After the communist takeover, his Legionary past - in 1935 he had joined the Legionary Movement - determined the political police to keep an eye on him. In 1948/1949 he opted for resistance and became the leader of a partisan group. Arrested by the Securitate troops in 1952, Ioan-Liviu Vucu was sentenced in 1953 to many years in prison.
