Belgium Under The Cep Van Heel Exile and War Tales
In Brussels and surrounding areas the author recalls the German occupation and the Red Cross ambu lance, the arrest of young Englishmen accused of spying, and the tense diplomacy with German authorities. He notes food shortages, relief efforts led by Americans, and the tense negotiations over wheat deliveries. A printed proclamation about war contributions to be paid by the city is described, with local reactions and the city’s pride amid occupation.
