Title: Books: Today I bought...
Post by: Koen on 13 June 2009, 21:19:40
Transport XX - ISBN 978 90 5487 478 2
Info on the Jüden transport of April 19th 1943 from the 'Dossinkazerne' [Bel] to Auschwitz-Birkenau [G], transport 10 out of 27.
232 deported people escaped from their train to a certain death due to 1 hero with 1 pistol who stopped the train at Boortmeerbeek [Bel]. Not all 232 survived, some were killed during their escape, others were caught afterwards but it's a real  heroes-story very unkown to the public.
written by Dr. Maxime Steinberg & Laurence Schram

Title: Hitler in België ISBN 90-209-4217-4

Hitler in België - René Mathot (Hitler in Belgium) ISBN 90-209-4217-4 - original title: Au ravin du loup Hitler en Belgique et en France, mai-juin 1940

http://www.verzet.org/index2.php?option=com_content&do_pdf=1&id=748

the book describes the period when Hitler travelled in and around Belgium during the opening stages of the Western war.
in detain it describes the functioning of Brûly-de-Pesche / FHQ Wolfsschlucht I (Führerhauptquartiere)

(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d5/Hitler-Headquarters-Europe.png)

see here what Brûly-de-Pesche / FHQ Wolfsschlucht I is about:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C3%BChrer_Headquarters (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C3%BChrer_Headquarters)

I'm curious how this book will enlighten a part of the Belgian story in WWII which usually gets no attention in the international media.
