The accounts of a German officer, about the battle of Râmnicu Sărat, held between December 9/22 - December 14/27, 1916:
“At the turn of the year our unstoppable advancing troops found strong resistance north of Râmnicu-Sărat, especially on the edge of the mountains. But it was crushed, and between the Râmnicu-Sărat and Buzău lowlands, terrain was won through heavy fighting: the enemy was pushed back to their prepared positions southwest of Brăila. Our enemies have rudely rejected the peace negotiations offered to them by the Central Powers; so the sword of the warrior must first speak on.”
