The situation of the Tulcea market in 1942 in reports of the National Bank of Romania

This paper presents some unpublished confidential reports sent by the staff of the Tulcea Branch of the National Bank of Romania to the Governor of the National Bank of Romania in Bucharest, between the 26^th of March 1942 and 3^rd of November 1942, regarding to the situation of the Tulcea market. These are unique and precious historical sources to reconstruct not only the economic situation of Tulcea City and Tulcea County (in Dobrudja, southeastern Romania), but also to reveal other interesting aspects of life of the inhabitants from here in that difficult year of the WWII. The documents, unknown till now, come from the Copierul Special Rapoarte B.N.R. no. 962/1934 (Special Copying Bulletin of R.N.B. no. 962/1934), kept till today in a private archive.
