| Summary: | This book is about the many hundreds of men, whether elected or appointed, who stood between the German occupiers and civilian society in the Low Countries and in the two neighboring French départements, Nord and Pas-de-Calais. The Germans had separated the latter from the rest of France under the German military commander of occupied Belgium. Everywhere mayors were seen traditionally as the mediators between local citizenries and the politicians and bureaucrats, but now the occupational forces with their numerous and competing agencies added to the mayors’ problems. In terms of education and social standing, the mayors ranged from simple farmers in the small towns to hardened political leaders in great cities such as Lille, Brussels, Antwerp, Rotterdam, and The Hague. |
