Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the German occupation of Belgium during the first two years of the First World War, through insightful anecdotes and personal accounts. The first wave of German invasion caused many civilian deaths, and the subsequent occupation primarily involved two aims: to suppress all expressions of Belgian patriotism, and to economically cripple the country. The author focuses on the second year of occupation, when the Germans, seeing no prospect of outright annexation, decided to systematically loot Belgium of all resources to support their war machine. Despite the deprivations and suppression, the Belgian people showed remarkable courage and resilience in their resistance, preserving a stout heart and a commitment to their King and country. As well as offering a different perspective on the First World War, this book provides a fascinating and sometimes harrowing insight into the dark heart of twentieth-century fascism.
