Nicolae Tătăranu (3 October 1890 – 13 May 1953) was a Romanian Major General during World War II.[1] He was also a recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross.[2]

Tătăranu was born in Măicănești, a village în Râmnicu Sărat County, now in Vrancea County. In 1908 he enrolled in the School for Infantry Officers in Bucharest, graduating in 1910 with the rank of second lieutenant. After Romania entered World War I on the side of the Allies in August 1916, Tătăranu fought with the 2nd Battalion Vânători de munte, first as lieutenant, and then as captain.

Following the end of World War One, Tătăranu attended the Higher War School (1921–1923). He served as military attaché in Paris from 1928 to 1931 as well as in Brussels (1929–1931) and Madrid (1930–1931). In 1935 he was promoted to colonel and in 1939 to brigadier general.[1][3] In 1940 he published his World War I memoirs.[4]

During World War II, Tătăranu took part in Operation Barbarossa. On August 1941, Tătăranu signed the Agreement Concerning Security, Administration and Economic Exploitation of the Territories between the Transnistria and Buh–Dnieper Region with General Major Arthur Hauffe.[5] In late October 1941 while serving as deputy commander of the Romanian 10th Infantry Division, troops under his command took part in the Odessa massacre.[6] During the Battle of Stalingrad, Tătăranu initially served as commander of the Romanian 20th Infantry Division, later commanding the Romanian 6th Corps.[7] On orders from General Friedrich Paulus, he flew out of the Stalingrad pocket on 13 January 1943, in order to report to Marshal Ion Antonescu on the dire situation of the Romanian troops trapped there.[8]

On 28 March 1945, Tătăranu was put into retirement by the Petru Groza government.[9]
