Introduction
|
Heavy fighting continued on the first line of the Odessa defenses, as the 7th Infantry Division forced its way down the rail toward the city. At the Karpova railway station, the Soviets had built their positions in and around the big railroad embankments, and proved nearly impossible to dislodge. With their artillery support doing little damage, the Romanian infantry went forward to dig out the Red Army foot by foot.

Conclusion
|
Two months earlier, sublocotenant Marius Dumistrecu had graduated first in his class at the Romanian Military Academy in Cernauti. when his men wavered, Dumitrescu stood and waved them forward. Slowly, the dorobanti followed, picking up speed as he stormed up the embankment and into the station itself. Dumistrescu and every man of his platoon had been killed in action by the end of the afternoon, but the Romanian took the station.
