The diary of the Romanian minister of the time, Grigore Gafencu, has recently been published and I presume it contains details about what happened after the declaration of war. Anyhow, the personel of the Romanian Embassy in Moscow was evacuated through Turkey. In the summer of 1944, the Romanian minister in Berlin was a Germanophile who issued an order that recommended to all the personel under his authority not to recognise the new Romanian government and its decisions. Those who did comply with this order were placed under house arrest, pending the decision of the German authorities. As they could not be exchanged on the front line with their German counterparts, about 200 Romanians were then sent to special concentration camps in Germany and Austria (Krumhubel, Ramingstein and Maria Worth). In May 1945 they were liberated by the Allies and sent to Italy. Later, some of them returned to Romania, while others left for other countries.
