@Briselance The Belgium army released some books after the war (1955) about the invasion and fighting of May 1940.
Nr 2A of this series is “The fighting at CHABREHEZ”.
In this book you can even read their names and what has happened when them. It takes you to their shelters, PC’s and MG posts.
There is even a copy a drawing made by Rommel of this battle.
If you are very, very lucking, on Ebay …. :-)
Thx for posting! CU!

Only 60 ? Damn. Where did you read that figure ? I'm just amazed. I know they were not many at all. But just 60, managing to stop Rommel's forces for one day ... sound like Thermopylae.
-
@Briselance it was the famous ROMMEL! For one day, his army was halted, only by 60 Belgium soldiers!
-
Poor planning, indeed. :-(
-
@Briselance Belgium had as many troops facing the French as it did the Germans until the end of 1939. Poor planning before the assault led to the defeat.

Oh but they tried. Given they had almost no armored force to speak of, and that most of their Airforce got bombed and destroyed on the ground, they did well. Their "Chasseurs Ardennais", who were just a handful, managed to stop Guderian - or Rommel, I can't remember - in the Ardennes for 2 days.
-
Britain was not responsible for dragging Belgium into this mess. When uncle Adolph started to make his blunder, no one shown enough balls to punch him and make him stop right away. That's why Belgium - and all the others - were dragged into this.

Ook België had toen soldaten die hun plicht meer dan deden!
Een pluim voor jullie werk en inzet!
Doe zo voort!
