Summary/Abstract: Following research of the existing Romanian and foreign bibliography regarding the circumstances in which combat forces from the Romanian Army will end up carrying out combat actions, together with Wehrmacht troops, for the defense of Crimea and then the evacuation of troops from the Peninsula, in the Second World War, the authors highlight some aspects of the conduct of their operations, that are less known and which have given rise to sometimes different and even biased approaches. The analysis shows the steps taken by Marshal Ion Antonescu and the Chief of the General Staff of the Romanian Army, General Ilie Șteflea, to prompt Hitler to order the evacuation of troops from major units of the Romanian Army in Crimea, as well as the manner in which they were executed.
