On 22 June 1941 Romania joined Operation Barbarossa in order to reclaim the lost territories of Bessarabia and Bukovina, which had been annexed by the Soviet Union in June 1940. From 29 June to 6 July 1941 the Iași pogrom was launched by governmental forces under Marshal Ion Antonescu against the Jewish community in Iași. On August 25, the commander of the 4th Corps Area, General Constantin Cernătescu, and his Chief of Staff, Colonel Caracaș, ordered all inhabitants of ethnic Jewish origin from the territory under their authority (the counties of Iași, Baia, Botoșani, Roman, Bălți, and Soroca) to wear a yellow badge on their chest. In January 1942, Caracaș was promoted to brigadier general. Starting în March 1942, he was Commanding Officer of the 10th Infantry Division. In August 1942 he led his division in the Battle of the Caucasus. In October 1943 he went into reserve until June 1944, when he became General Officer Commanding 7th Training Division. After the coup d'état of 23 August 1944, Romania switched sides and declared war on Nazi Germany. In September of that year, Caracaș fought with his division at the Battle of Turda. In October 1944 he was appointed General Officer Commanding 20th Training Division. He died at a military hospital in Alba Iulia in March 1945. His awards include the Order of the Star of Romania, Officer rank (June 1940), Order of the Crown, Commander rank (December 1943), and Order of the Star, Commander rank (post-mortem, May 1945). (en)
