The King Who Tricked Hitler

On December 5, 2017, King Mihai I of Romania passed away. He served as king from 1927 to 1930 and again from 1940 until he was forced to abdicate by the communists in 1947. This documentary, which aired earlier this year, highlights the key role King Mihai played during World War II and the events that led to his exile.

  

For more information about Romania's royal family, click here for the blog post I wrote last year when Mihai's wife, Queen Anne, passed away.

And for those who understand Romanian: here is another documentary about King Mihai on  YouTube. Unfortunately, the YouTube version does not have English subtitles.
