TheBattle ofPodu Iloaiei was fought duringWorld War II between theGermanWehrmacht and theSovietRed Army. HistorianDavid Glantz described it as part of afailed Soviet offensive in Romania, and considered it a reaction to the Soviet defeat at theFirst Battle of Târgu Frumos.^[2] While according to the Soviet account, the Red Army successfully repelled a German counter-stroke, according to German accounts, the Germans managed to drive the attacking Soviets back to the positions they held before the battle.^[1]

The region was still inAxis hands. Several months later, it was captured by theRed Army in theJassy–Kishinev Offensive, from 21–23 August 1944.
