The Romanian army was a paper tiger. Low percentage of machine guns, very few trained vets, officer commissions above Lt. were a political appointment, very few tanks, very few aircraft, poor Army infrastructure(few trucks, old trains, poor rolling stock), poor transportation infrastructure, old windy lanes with poor bridges etc, serious lack of asphalt and rails. The Romanian Communist Party was in no way held in check like in Germany. Communists continued to handicap the Romanian war effort for the entire war. Ceausescu formed a corp of Anti-Hitler patriots who at any time the chips are down for Romania, stand a good chance of toppling Antonescu and giving him a .30 cal lobotomy. Antonescu rules a shifting house of cards, inches from overthrow/exile through most of the war, he holds no mandate.
