The Underground Press in Belgium

The Underground Press in Belgium

Antoine Delfosse
0/5 ( ratings)
These are the pages from a noble book of history: the terrible and glorious history of the Belgian people's resistance to Nazi oppression.
I commend them to the foreign reader with fervour and pride, for in them beats the sorrowful but indomitable heart of a nation which, for centuries, has always risen to great heights in the face of calamity.
That valiant, unsubmissive race, to which I have the honour to belong, is the race of King Albert, of cardinal Mercier and Burgomaster Max, and of the soldiers of the Yser and of Flanders. Our allies have learned its worth in battle. So have our enemies.
To-day, from the abyss of misery undeserved, the Belgians are producing a new literature of noblity, testifying to their heroic determination not to submit to violence, tyranny and coercion.
To those who read these pages I make but one appeal: Remember that every line has been written in blood.
