I nohoia e te Soviet Union a Bessarabia me Northern Bukovina. Whai muri i te Tiamana (i muri mai ko te Marshal) Ion Antonescu te mana i te marama o Hepetema 1940, i hainatia e Fascist Romania te Tiriti e toru me nga Axis Powers, a, i muri mai ka uru ki te Operation Barbarossa i te 1941. I whakaekehia e tetahi ope whakatere te Soviet Union i Bessarabia me te tonga o Ukraine, i te taha o te Wehrmacht. Ko te ope whakatere, 'Army Group Antonescu,' i hangaia i te 22 o Hune 1941 o te 3rd Army, te 4th Army, te 2nd Army Corps, me te 11th Infantry Division. Ko te ope taua tuatoru ko te 4th Army Corps (6th me te 7th Infantry Divisions), ko te Cavalry Corps, ko te Mountain Corps, e rua nga roopu patu patu motuhake, he waahanga TA, me te 3rd Army Cooperation Command o te Air Force. Ko te ope taua 4th ko te 3rd Army Corps, te 5th Army Corps, te 11th Army Corps (e rua nga pirihimana kaha), me te 4th Army Cooperation Command. Ko te roopu ope taua o te ope taua tuarua, i raro i te rangatira a Major General Nicolae Macici, i whakahaere i te 9th me te 10th Divisions Infantry me te 7th Cavalry Brigade. Hei taapiri, i hangaia te 1st Armoured Division mo te mahi i te Raki o te Rawhiti. Ko te whakaeke tuatahi a te Roopu Army, i te taha o te tekau ma tahi o nga ope taua, Operation München, i taea ai e Romania te whakahoki mai i te rohe i te rawhiti o te Dnister, i mua ko te waahanga o Moldova. I kite nga ope Romanian i a raatau pakanga nui tuatahi i Odessa me Sevastopol, a i te 1942 i uru atu me etahi atu ope Axis ki roto i te rohe o Soviet i te wa o te mahi Case Blue. I te timatanga o Noema, ko nga hoia maunga o Romania i raro i te whakahau a Brigadier General Ioan Dumitrache i riro i a Nalchik, te pito tawhiti rawa o te Axis ki te Kaukau.
