    I read on a WW2 forum that the Romanian cabinet under Ion Antonescu changed about 5-6 times until the end of the war  I would think that so many changes would make a very unstable country  Why would the cabinet change so often?

    How would reshuffling the cabinet make a country unstable?  Antonescu stayed in power until the end of the war.  Changing a cabinet memebr is akin to firng a store manager and getting a new one, it does not make the store run a whole lot different.

    The greater question is, who really was in charge of Romania during the war – Germany or Russia?

    Germany was pulling th strings during and Russia after until 1989 when the Romanians finally recalimed their voice from the communists.

    I say that because it might explain the fluctuations in their government.  It depended on who was in control at the time or if there were factions of both sides during the war.  I think agents provocateurs were responsible for much of the instability.
