Ion Antonescu

Ion Victor Antonescu (June 15th 1882 - June 1st 1946) was a Romanian soldier, later dictator (or Conducator) and convicted war criminal.

During the Second World War, he presided over two successive military dictatorships and allied Romania with Nazi Germany, an alliance which lasted until the 23rd August 1944, when he was deposed in a coup and later tried, convicted and executed by the communist regime in 1946.

Many Romanians now see Antonescu as a hero, doing what was best for Romania. However, attempts to rehabilitate him officially have been fruitless.

In the parodies
In Benad361's Antonescu Parodies, he has recently been presented as an ambitious dictator, eager to gain mainstream acceptance in the Parody Universe.

He has allied himself with 'Oglinda' Hitler (the Hitler featured in the film 'Oglinda', used in the parodies) to try and take on the parody universe. How successful this will be remains to be seen.
