    Wiederaufbauen oder erinnern?

    Nach dem Krieg standen viele flämische Städte vor denselben Fragen. Sollte ihre Stadt in vollem Glanz aus der Asche wiederauferstehen und wieder so wie zuvor aussehen? Oder bot der Wiederaufbau Chancen für neue städtische Visionen? Sollte man die Toten ehren, indem man die Trümmer dort liege ließ wo sie waren? Oder sollte man sich für ...

    The dog at the front

    Dogs, like other animals, played a role in the warfare that should not be underestimated. They too were 'called to arms' in 1914, and helped the soldiers in a variety of ways. Behind the front, they were hitched to small carts, and in this way they transported machine guns, ammunition cases and food. After artillery fire, or in no ...

    Dogs under the occupation

    Because so many horses and donkeys were requisitioned in occupied Belgium, dogs had to provide even more pulling power than before the war. They were harnessed to dogcarts and pulled the milkman's milk, the baker's bread, and the farmer's children. However, the Germans, who were not familiar with the practice, rejected dogcarts as ...

    Les chiens sous l’occupation

    On réquisitionnait tellement de chevaux et d’ânes en Belgique occupée que les chiens devaient encore plus assurer la force de traction qu’avant la guerre. Ils étaient attelés à la charrette à chiens et tractaient le lait du laitier, le pain du boulanger et les enfants du fermier. Les Allemands, qui ne connaissaient pas cet ...

    Lecture critique des journaux historiques

    Une armée de sans-emploi? Le travail forcé

    Au fur et à mesure que la guerre s’éternisait, l’économie allemande manquait de bras. Dans le même temps, l’économie en Belgique occupée était presque à l’arrêt et il y avait énormément de sans-emploi. Le haut commandement allemand jeta son dévolu sur ces sans-emploi belges pour continuer à faire fonctionner ...
