The fall of Bucharest
6 Dec 1916 — Three months after Romania joins the Allies, Falkenhayn and Mackensen converge on its capital from north and south. The rump army winters in Moldavia; Germany spends the rest of the war running Romanian grain and oil west.
This is one scene of Chapter 5 — The Furnaces in The Great War, 1914–1918.
