The road to Gorj is long,
But longing is longer.
Probably, this road to Dobrița also seemed very long to King Mihai, who set off at dawn on August 24, 1944. The measure was taken so that in the event of the failure of the coup on August 23, the king would not fall prisoner to the Hitlerites, especially since Hitler at 00:00 had given the firm order for total repression.
This is how it was decided to house the king and his suite in Dobrița and the government in Bolintin. The king was brought to Dobrița because it was at a great distance from Bucharest, close to Parâng, and the configuration of the land offered the possibility of detecting possible attempts to capture him.
Those who devised the plan to bring the king to Dobrița still had in mind the performance of Major Skorzeni, who had recovered Mussolini from captivity. When Ion and Mihai Antonescu were taken by the communists to the house in Vatra Luminoasă, King Mihai I was on his way to this place.
