In August 1917, the Romanian Army and its Russian allies faced the German Ninth Army at Mărășești, a small town in eastern Romania. Over two weeks of brutal trench warfare, mud-choked charges, and artillery duels, the Romanians held their ground, suffering 27,000 casualties. But the battle of Mărășești was more than a military engagement — it became the crucible of modern Romanian identity. This episode follows the battle from the opening German offensive through the critical stand at the Siret River, the heroics of the 1st Romanian Infantry Division under General Eremia Grigorescu, and the controversial role of King Ferdinand I. We also explore how the battle's memory was reshaped by later regimes, from the interwar cult of the unknown soldier to communist-era distortions. Along the way, we meet key figures like General Constantin Prezan, artillery commander Colonel Leonard Mociulschi, and the French General Henri Berthelot, whose mission helped reorganize the battered Romanian army after the disaster of 1916. Mărășești is to Romanians what Verdun is to the French: a symbol of sacrifice, endurance, and national will. #Mărășești #RomaniaWWI #BattleOfMărășești #EremiaGrigorescu #KingFerdinand #SiretRiver #ConstantinPrezan #HenriBerthelot #LeonardMociulschi #RomanianFront #1917 #Verdun #Focșani #Tecuci #RussianRevolution #WorldWarI #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
