The Battle of Podu Iloaiei was fought during World War II between the German Wehrmacht and the Soviet Red Army. Historian David Glantz described it as part of a failed Soviet offensive in Romania, and considered it a reaction to the Soviet defeat at the First Battle of Târgu Frumos. While according to the Soviet account, the Red Army successfully repelled a German counter-stroke, according to German accounts, the Germans managed to drive the attacking Soviets back to the positions they held before the battle.
