Item Details

Description

BELGIAN RESISTANCE
An intriguing item, one side being a period copy of a letter signed in facsimile by Dwight D. Eisenhower, [n.p., n.d., but likely October, 1944], headed: SECRET To the officers and men of all Belgian Resistance Organizations". In the letter, Ike praises the Belgian resistance for their assistance in helping the Allies liberate their country, but asks that now that the conflict has moved on, all arms be surrendered to the authorities and that all hostilities "be directed against our common enemy". In October, British soldiers actually wounded 45 members of the resistance who had marched on Parliament seeking to retain their arms to continue fighting with the Allies. Soon, large numbers of former members of the resistance enlisted into the regular army, largely joining the Belgian Fusilier Battalions. The verso of the letter bears about 70 lines of tiny script in French which appears to document post-war combat action by ex-members of the Belgian resistance. Very good.
