Belgian firms Accept Orders for German Tank Cars
Brussels reports two Belgian firms agreed to build 1000 tank cars for Germany under government pressure to protect neutrality. Firms hesitated at first due to fear of British and French retaliation on blacklists, while Britain and France usually place larger orders. A foreign office spokesman said the deal was approved as trade pacts allow no sanctions on certain goods. Germany’s coke shipments to Belgium and Belgian reluctance to fill orders may be linked. France reportedly ordered 5000 tank cars from Belgian builders.
