BREENDONCK, Belgium, Oct 4.
(UP) = The Germans killed more
than 120 persons a month here, the
guide said as he led the way to a
courtyard where, when tortures had
failed, the victims were shot or
hanged.
There was the gallows where men
dropped through trapdoors so shall
low that their necks didn't break,
and they just dangled there, strang-
ling slowly. Around its base was a
mass of flowers, piled there by rela-
tives of the dead.
The Belgians are going to pre-
serve Breendonck. When peace
comes again, tourists will be able to
drive out from Brussels to this low
lying fort near Antwerp and see
just how the Gestapo tortured its
victims.
