Document al Securității din 1968, publicat de CNSAS: Cum a trăit o delegație militară română momentul invaziei Cehoslovaciei

The National Council for the Study of the Securitate Archives (CNSAS) released a document detailing the Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia on August 20-21, 1968. The report, based on information from a Romanian military delegation, describes the blocking of Czechoslovak army units, the occupation of airports, and the arrest of key leaders of the Prague Spring. The Romanian delegation, led by General Cheler Paul, was present for a tactical exercise that was canceled due to the invasion. The document outlines the systematic approach used by Soviet forces to incapacitate Czechoslovak defenses and the brutal arrests of political leaders, including Alexander Dubcek. It also highlights the positive reception of the Romanian military by the local population, contrasting with the hostility faced by other foreign delegations.
