Mitică Dragomir (79 years old) recently spoke about the sufferings his father went through during the Second World War.
The former head of the LPF made these statements in a tense international context, after Iran retaliated against Israeli-American attacks on February 28 by launching bombs and drones at countries near the Persian Gulf, where American military bases are located.
Dragomir told how his father was sent to the front at Cotul Donului, the site of the greatest Romanian military tragedy of that war.
“When he went to war he weighed 80 kilos and came home with 40!”
After months of fierce fighting, he returned home with only 40 kilograms, less than half the weight he had left for the war, marking an unforgettable experience for the whole family.
“May God grant that we have peace. Until now, for 80 or so years, we have had peace in Romania. We were a generation without war. Our parents and grandparents were wounded in the war. Father injured, grandfather dead.
(no your father was in the Second World War, at the Elbow of the Don?) Yes, at the Elbow of the Don and he came with a black eye. All his life he pulled at him and told me that there is no such thing as being able to tell. The worst thing was the hunger, not the cold and all that. They ate grass like animals. And weeds. They ate ash bark. When he went there to war he weighed 80 kilos and came home at 40. And he stayed at 45 kilos until he died!“Mitică Dragomir told Fanatik.
“Army and war made him so!”
“Father wasn’t a bad man, but a hard one. I mean, an exact man. I admit that the army and the war made him that way too. My belief is that he was born that way. He liked honor. To have starved, but not to take two cherries or an apple from the neighbors!”Mitică Dragomir also said, according to the same source.
