- This short tells of the Nazi's efforts to shut down an underground resistance newspaper in occupied Belgium.
- This short is about Germany's and the German Army's, efforts to shut down the underground resistance newspaper, La Libre Belgique (Free Belguim), in occupied Belgium during World War I and how it sprang up again in occupied Belgium during World War II.—Pat Swovelin <Pat-Swovelin@Prodigy.net>
- Today in 1941, it's déjà vu for Belgians with the Germans having invaded the country like they did during the beginning of WWI in 1914. Like 1914, the Germans are trying to quash the Belgian voice by censoring their media. Then, a small group of Belgians were still able to publish a newspaper called La Libre Belgique (Free Belgium), and distribute it in unique ways, such as baked in loaves of bread. Rudolph von Heinrich, head of the German Secret Police in Belgium, made it his mission to find the perpetrators, punish them by execution, and destroy their printing materials. He is able to do so, he believing it the end of that story. However, execution of the first editor was not enough to dissuade others from taking up the cause, a second editor who was recruited. Execution after execution of the newspaper editor was not enough to stop the publication of the newspaper. Twenty-two editors later in 1918, von Heinrich believed he had a way to stop the publication once and for all, but was his efforts enough? Today, a newspaper has been resurrected in German occupied, German censored Belgium: La Libre Belgique.—Huggo
