Humanitarian aid granted to France by Romania during the Second World War/L'aide humanitaire accordee par la roumanie a la France pendant la Deuxieme Guerre Mondiale

The aim of the present article is to provide an analysis of the humanitarian aid granted to France by Romania during the Second World War. The article proposes an analysis of this humanitarian action message which the Romanian side wanted to transmit to France, namely not to appear as a German ally, but old friends connected with France both sentimentally and culturally. The humanitarian aid granted both on the initiative of the Romanian government and of private persons was conducted in two waves during 1943. We place this episode in the context of the Romanian-French diplomatic relations analysis during the Second World War, considering it as a success of the cooperation between the two states.
