Some methods used by the security to destroy anti-communist armed resistance 1945–1962

Summary/Abstract: Even since its foundation in August 1948, the General Directorate for the Security of the People had among its attributions the repression of the armed resistance movements. The first operation against the armed groups, was gathering information of them, the possibility of catching the resistance’s members being initially postponed. The fundamental element in the elimination of the armed resistance by part of the Securitate consisted in the expansion and qualitative improvement of the informative network in areas where the partisans acted, preoccupations regarding its improvement and expansion seeming a recurrent subject in the epoch’s documents drawn up by the repression organs. In order to destroy the groups, they also used undercover informers and officers who recommended themselves as being refugees prosecuted by the Securitate. The political police also got information consequently to the captures and further interrogations of the resistance members, as their interrogation took place in such a manner so that they could ascertain who their accomplices were, where they had taken the weapons from and where these were stored, who the persons were who helped them, if there were any connections between various partisan groups or between them and the ex-political parties, priests and Romanian who had left the country etc. Another method used by Securitate consisted in discrediting the members of the groups from the mountains in front of population and the supporting elements in order to reduce the partisan’s information and supply possibilities. The main way of capturing and destroying the ‘armed antirevolutionary gang’ was the massive use of the Security Troops.
