Well,it's complicated.Under Ceausescu,it was kind of a mixture.They wanted full control so they tried to addres everybody.If for example you were a patriot they wanted you in too.No oposition was their policy.They mixed comunnism with national-socialism.Used both,Moscow type propaganda and Hitler type propaganda.Used national heroes allot.They didn't gived a shit about any of this things,just wanted you to feel good to be "equal" with all the others(meaning poor and miserable).Well,it will take weeks to look over all of itEagle71 @ Jan 17 2014, 09:23 PM wrote:Idolized by romanian nationalists and romanian communists?

After seeing decorated action raiding Nazi-held Norway, Churchill took over a Commando unit and joined in the storming of Salerno Bay in Italy wearing silver buttons, carrying bagpipes, and armed with a bow and arrow and a hilted Scottish sword called a claymore. “Churchill,” his 1996 obituary would read, “believed an assault leader should have a reputation which would at once demoralize the enemy and convince his own men that nothing was impossible.” “Any officer who goes into action without his sword,” he reportedly said, “is improperly dressed.”
Casualties were high, and in a desperate bid he launched his troops in a screaming, nighttime attack on the Nazi lines, capturing 136 of the enemy. Churchill and a comrade then charged further ahead and, using his sword and a German hostage, captured a 42-man garrison plus a mortar and crew.
On the Nazi-held Yugoslavian island of Brac, Mad Jack’s luck ran out when, as the lone unwounded man atop a hill and out of ammunition, he played “Will Ye No Come Back Again?” on his pipes until a grenade knocked him unconscious and he was captured.
Though Hitler had issued an order to kill captured commandos, Churchill was spared the Gestapo’s wrath by a German army captain who told him, “You are a soldier, as I am. I refuse to allow these civilian butchers to deal with you.” Later in the war, when the captain was captured, Churchill was able to save him from execution.
