Ion Antonescu - Romania's head of the Government between September 1940-23rd of August 1944.
Sentenced to death and executed in 1946 after been putting on a trial by Communist Government.
(Anyway, on the end of 1947 King Michael was forced by Soviets to abdicate.)

It is either Romanian M28 helmet or M38/42, based on Dutch M23 helmet.
If you'll search for Dutch WW2 army you'll notice the similarities.

Mine's of Erwin Rommel, nicknamed the Desert Fox. He was the leader of the Afrika Korps, which were defeated by Monty and the 8th Army. After becoming implicated in a plot to assassinate Hitler, he took poison and committed suicide to prevent any persecution of his family.

Off-topic:
Clauss, Romanian Army from 1941 to 1944 fought not for Germany but against Soviet Union and from 1944 to 1945 fought against Germany together with Soviet Union. In both periods of time was about regaining back territories lost in 1940 to Soviet Union and to Hungary (backed by Germany and Italy)

Edited: In 1940, our tradittional allies were in a very :D bad :D condition:
Czechoslovakia (dissapeared in 1938), Poland (1939...), France (you know what happened) and The British Empire (Dunkirk...). So in 1940, due to Ribbenttrop-Molotov pact we were alone between 2 empires: 3rd Reich and Soviet Empire.
