Summary/Abstract: After Hitler had seized power in Germany, relying on his aggressive propaganda, part of the German population in Romania started to show hostility towards the Romanian State, also becoming tools for spreading Nazi ideology. After General Ion Antonescu had become ruler of Romania on November 21, 1940, the Romanian citizens of German origin were granted the right to form an organization registered as a legal entity, called the German Ethnic Group in Romania, a Nazi oriented group that soon found itself in conflict with the Evangelical, Lutheran and Roman Catholic clergy thus affecting the relations within the German community.
