The German Fury in Belgium / Experiences of a Netherland Journalist during four months with the German Army in Belgium

A neutral Dutch correspondent records four months spent among occupying forces and in Belgian towns, offering firsthand reportage of military operations and civilian suffering. He chronicles the destruction of towns such as Visé, Louvain, and Dinant, the burning of property, and harsh treatment of prisoners and wounded, while tracing the origins of rumours about francs-tireurs and disproving many alleged Belgian outrages. Interspersed with battlefield and siege observations from Liège to the Yser and Antwerp, the narrative emphasizes eyewitness detail, occasional German acts of humanity, and the systematic or encouraged brutality that accompanied occupation policies.
