	Iron Guard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Iron Guard is the name most commonly given in English to an ultra-nationalist anti-Semitic, fascist movement and political party in Romania in the period from 1927 into the early part of World War II.
		The main symbol used by the Iron Guard was a triple cross (a variant of the triple parted and fretted one), standing for prison bars (as a badge of martyrdom), and sometimes referred to as the "Archangel Michael Cross" (Crucea Arhanghelului Mihail).
		On December 10, 1933 the Romanian Liberal Prime Minister Ion Duca banned the Iron Guard; Iron Guard members retaliated on December 29, 1933 by assassinating Duca on the platform of the Sinaia railway station.

	The Tragedy of the Romanian 'Iron Guard' : Codreanu
		This meeting took place at Codreanu's headquarters, the 'Green House', the Iron Guard's first 'nest', a few months before he was assassinated, along with thirty of his comrades, in the forest of Tancabesti by henchmen of the political schemers who were in office in Bucharest at that time.
		This is Corneliu Codreanu, the leader and founder of the Romanian 'Iron Guard', the one who is called 'assassin', 'Hitler's henchman', 'anarchist conspirator', by the world press, because, since 1919, he has been challenging Israel, and the forces which are more or less in cahoots with it, at work in the Romanian national life.
		Another typical aspect of the legionarism of the 'Iron Guards' is a sort of ascetic commitment on the part of their leaders : they must refrain from going to dance halls, cinemas or theatres, avoid any display of wealth or even of mere affluence.

	Corneliu Zelea Codreanu (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		From then on, the Iron Guard, which had fought persistently against corruption and the disintegration of a nation, was to know only persecution and death; but also from that time on the example of the Iron Guard was to inspire thousand of European nationalists.
		Compromising leaders and their parties disappear without a tear being shed whilst the ideal of the Iron Guard remains and inspires each generation, a point of reference for those who would build rather than destroy, whose destiny is compelled by a noble love more than hatred.
		Nationalist it was, yet the Iron Guard transcended the barriers of nineteenth century jingoism and extended the hand of friendship to all peoples in struggle.

	Bucharest Iron Guard
		The Legionaires (strictly speaking, the "Iron Guard" were their military/"self defense" wing, although the term was often applied by contemporary journalists and later historians to describe the movement as a whole) did indeed revolt against Antonescu.
		The "Iron Guard" were highly anti-Semitic, nationalist, by their own lights deeply Christian (their processions on horseback through peasant Romania, wearing their green shirts marked with a cross and carrying candles, Codreanu up front on a white horse, made a deep impression of piety and purpose in many of the villages they passed through).
		He chafed at the repeated public brutalities of the Iron Guard (murdering random Jews in batches or specific former government officials in particularly slow and grisly fashion were their usual ways of proceeding) and their general lawlessness, and rebuffed attempts by the Guardist to expand their influence in the government.
