Belgian King Leopolds Surrender Moves Amid Allied Pressure
BERIN May 20 German radio recounts report Belgian King Leopold decided to capitulate after stormy talks with allied Generalissimo Weygand and Belgian generals. He reportedly said Belgian forces would not prolong useless bloodshed, refused to be responsible for Belgian territory devastation, and urged Belgians to resist only as long as needed to aid French regrouping and allow England to defend itself. Prime Minister Reynaud spoke with Churchill in London about the king’s stance, with Weygand unable to secure a continued fight from Leopold.
