Overview
The WWII occupation of Antwerp began with relative calm but grew increasingly intense as time passed. Join me on this WWII tour to witness the unfolding drama. In the early days of the war, Antwerp was home to Belgium’s largest Jewish community. We’ll explore the harrowing stories of Jewish deportations and the complex role played by the local police and city council. The drama escalates after the city’s liberation, when the true battle for Antwerp begins. The port, a vital strategic point, became a target for hundreds of V1 and V2 rockets, resulting in thousands of casualties. Simultaneously, the resistance movement gained momentum, becoming a crucial force in the city’s fight for freedom. However, the horrors of war extended beyond the battlefield. With the Germans gone, leadership is lacking and the resistance will strike down hard on suspected collaborators. This often-overlooked chapter is as intense and revealing as the occupation itself.
