The King motored from Bucharest to the meeting, with his mother. After two hours he turned his car off the road at a gasoline dump. A German motorized column came into sight. The royal party jumped into their car and hurried off just as the Germans opened fire. Bullets flew back & forth for a few minutes before the King raced out of the danger zone.
Both the King and the Queen Mother arrived safely at a secluded villa.
