Military and political arguments were the main reasons for the repatriation of Romanian prisoners of war from captivity during World War II. In the opinion of the Romanian authorities, expressed on several occasions, the situation of those released from captivity, both on the Eastern and Western fronts, was absolutely random, repatriations taking place at the whim of the Soviet partners. A strict record of the repatriation of Romanian prisoners from the USSR and other Sovietcamps hosted in the “liberated” areas of Hungary, Austria, Yugoslavia,Czechoslovakia and Germany would not have existed. It would have been done, most of the time, at random, without giving the Romanian authorities the necessary time to organize themselves.
