===Fall=== During the short-lived reign of the National Legionary State, Antonescu planned to model the Romanian government after [[Francisco Franco]]'s government in Spain, and to that end demanded that Sima cede control of the Iron Guard over to him. Sima refused, and was accused by Antonescu of using the Iron Guard's [[death squad]]s to try and usurp power from him. After getting approval from [[Hitler]] to deal with the Iron Guard, Antonescu had his troops disband them. The Iron Guard fought back, and attempted to rebel, but were easily defeated after three days of violence. During the brief war, the Iron Guard initiated the [[Bucharest Pogrom]], during which 125 Jewish civilians were slaughtered. Particularly gruesome was the murder of dozens of Jewish civilians in the Bucharest slaughterhouse. The perpetrators hanged the Jews from meat hooks, then mutilated and killed them in a vicious parody of kosher slaughtering practices. After the Iron Guard were crushed in the rebellion, Antonescu forcibly disbanded them and banned them from re-forming. Many members of the Iron Guard were imprisoned or executed afterwards, however with German help Sima and several others managed to escape. Today, the Iron Guard are greatly admired by the far right in Romania, who continue to commemorate them.
