history
In the district of Perkos there were already several places such as Keresztes between Gherman, Deschan and Perkos', where a church ruin could still be seen in 1840 according to a community certificate. The place was relocated to the lowlands to improve the water supply. Radafalva was a settlement between Deschan and Perkos near the great bridge.
In a directory from 1717, Perkos is recorded with 15 houses. On a map after Francesco Griselini from 1776 the place appears under the name Pergosa. Around 1800 (after Dr. Johann Wolf 1794, after Leo Hoffmann 1808) Germans were settled in Perkos. Most of them came from Großscham and Moritzfeld . In 1840 further German settlers came from the Banat.
As a result of the Waffen-SS Agreement of May 12, 1943 between the Antonescu government and Hitler's Germany , all men of German origin who were conscripted into the German army. Before the end of the war, in January 1945, all ethnic German women between the ages of 18 and 30 and men between the ages of 16 and 45 were deported to the Soviet Union for reconstruction work .
The Land Reform Act of March 23, 1945 , which provided for the expropriation of German farmers in Romania, deprived the rural population of their livelihoods. The expropriated land was distributed to smallholders, farm workers and colonists from other parts of the country. The collectivization of agriculture was initiated in the early 1950s . Through the nationalization law of June 11, 1948 , which provided for the nationalization of all industrial and commercial enterprises, banks and insurance companies, the expropriation of all economic enterprises took place regardless of ethnicity.
Since the population along the Romanian-Yugoslav border was classified as a security risk by the Romanian government after the rift between Stalin and Tito and his exclusion from the Cominform alliance, "politically unreliable elements" were deported to the Bărăgan on June 18, 1951 . Steppe regardless of ethnicity. At the same time, the Romanian leadership aimed to break the resistance against the impending collectivization of agriculture. When the Bărăgan abductees returned home in 1956, the houses and farms expropriated in 1945 were returned to them. However, the field ownership was collectivized.
