Constantin Stoicanescu was the man who almost succeeded to turn the wheel of history on the Eastern Front in 1944-'45.

Dracula was a brave Christian Wallachian Prince known in history as Vlad the Impaler. He was contemporary with St. Stephen the Great of Moldavia (second half of the 15^th Century) and a good ally of him in the numerous Romanian wars against the Turks.

The father of Vlad the Impaler was known as Vlad Dracul (Romanian word for Dragon - because he received for his warrior merits a Germanic Dragon Order).

The people of that era used to name "Draculea" or "Dracula" the "Son of Dracul", that was Vlad the Impaler - Dracula. He was not a vampire but a brave Prince who fought for Christendom.
