Germans capture city of Antwerp in world war blitz
Antwerp, a fortress city and Belgian government seat, fell to German forces after a brief siege. Many garrisoned troops escaped before entry. King Albert and the royal family fled to England. The fall shifts German strategy toward Britain, with airship invasion fears and ongoing siege fighting in northern France. Russians report gains near Lyck and Suwalki, while Niemen crossings are repulsed.
