On the Juridical Situation of the Legionar Priests between 1938 and 1943

Abstract

The setting up of Carol II dictatorship also meant adopting an extremely rough policy towards the Legionary movement. Many priests suspected to have connections with the legionaries suffered drawbacks during those times. On the base of some unpublished documents, the author reconstructs Carol II politics towards the legionary priests, the sufferings endured in the famous concentration camp of Sadaclia (about whom very little has been written so far), as well as the extremely controversial attitudes of the authorities towards the facts.
