Alexandru, a teacher from Nucşoara, Argeş County was an excellent war officer, praised by his chifs, comrades and underlings, and he was considered a hero for his bravely behavior on the battle field. He was rewarded with all the decora tions a subordinate officer could get, including the Military Order Miliai Viteazu" Ill-rd class and with the German Order "Iron Cross" Il-nd classBecause of his material and moral support to the anticommunisl and antisoviet opposition group, he was considered "bandit" by the Romanian Security and Justice.
