Summary/Abstract: Before August 23, 1944 there were a lot of signals and suspicion among the German population in connection with a sudden and radical twist in their lives. There were only two alternatives in case of a change in Romania’s war policy or of the country’s occupation by the Soviet Army, (or both): to stay or to leave. The Soviet authorities immediately took a firm stand against an evacuation or a transfer of the German population from Romania to Germany. They preferred to deport those people to the USSR.
