General Constantin Sănătescu, head of King Michael's military household, became prime minister after the royal coup of 23 August 1944 that overthrew Antonescu and turned Romania against Germany. His two governments signed the armistice with the Allies in September 1944, as Soviet pressure and communist agitation steadily increased.
