Mai 1940, l'armée allemande déferle sur la Belgique. Faite sans déclaration de guerre, cette attaque surprise contre une nation demeurée neutre en 1939, change la donne. Effrayés par les bombardements et le souvenir des atrocités commises durant la Grande Guerre, 2 à 3 millions de civils, militaires et jeunes du CRAB mais aussi des administrations, des entreprises, des institutions religieuses et laïques prennent le chemin d'un immense exode vers la France. En voiture, en train, à vélo, à pied, cette Belgique du repli rejoint les millions de Français qui fuient aussi les zones frontalières et bientôt Paris. Poursuivant toujours plus au Sud leur course, des centaines de milliers de sujets Belges débarquent ainsi dans le Midi toulousain. Au choc de l'exil succéda celui des cultures. Habitués au confort urbain, les belges doivent apprendre à vivre avec un minimum de modernité. Sans eau courante, ni électricité, les fermes des paysans du Lot, de Haute-Garonne ou de Tarn-et-Garonne n'en sont pas moins de véritables havres de paix. Durant quatre mois, Périgord et Quercy sont également le siège provisoire d'administrations belges. La Croix-Rouge de Belgique s'installe à Cahors tandis que la ville de Charleroi prend son cantonnement à Montauban e que Moissac accueille les Postes Belges et la SNCB. A partir des archives belges et française, d'une cinquantaine de témoins, hôtes ou réfugiés, cet ouvrage livre tout un pan méconnu de cette histoire tragique de l'Exode de 1940.

Wednesday 12th June 1940. The Times reported 'thousands upon thousands of Parisians leaving the capital by every possible means, preferring to abandon home and property rather than risk even temporary Nazi domination'. As Hitler's victorious armies approached Paris, the French government abandoned the city and its people, leaving behind them an atmosphere of panic. Roads heading south filled with ordinary people fleeing for their lives with whatever personal possessions they could carry, often with no particular destination in mind. During the long, hard journey, this mass exodus of predominantly women, children, and the elderly, would face constant bombings, machine gun attacks, and even starvation. Using eyewitness accounts, memoirs, and diaries, Hanna Diamond shows how the disruption this exodus brought to the lives of civilians and soldiers alike made it a defining experience of the war for the French people. As traumatized populations returned home, preoccupied by the desire for safety and bewildered by the unexpected turn of events, they put their faith in Marshall Pétain who was able to establish his collaborative Vichy regime largely unopposed, while the Germans consolidated their occupation. Watching events unfold on the other side of the channel, British ministers looked on with increasing horror, terrified that Britain could be next.

Les relations franco-belges au lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale sont au coeur de la construction européenne. Les francophones de Belgique, oscillant entre amour et haine, revendiquent leur identité, la future "belgitude", alors que les Français mènent des actions culturelles pour reconquérir le terrain perdu depuis 1940 en Belgique et faire face à la concurrence anglo-américaine.

Wie traten die Gesellschaften in Deutschland und Frankreich in den Zweiten Weltkrieg ein? Ein Buch über Kriege im Frieden und Frieden in Kriegszeiten. Die deutsch-französische Grenzregion und der Weg in den Zweiten Weltkrieg Schon lange bevor der erste Schuss fiel, waren die Auswirkungen des Zweiten Weltkriegs für die Zivilbevölkerung in Europa spürbar. Dies galt besonders für die deutsch-französische Grenzregion. Deren Bevölkerung geriet durch den Bau der Maginot-Linie und des Westwalls, die Kriegsvorbereitungen und den Zustrom von Arbeitern und Soldaten wortwörtlich zwischen die Fronten. Im September 1939 wurde die "Rote Zone" zwischen den Festungslinien beiderseits der Grenze fast vollständig von Zivilisten evakuiert. Hunderttausende Menschen fanden Zuflucht in behördlich zugewiesenen Aufnahmegebieten im mitteldeutschen Raum bzw. im Südwesten Frankreichs. Hunderte Kilometer von ihrer Heimat entfernt mussten sie ihr Leben unter schwierigen sozialen und ökonomischen Bedingungen neu organisieren. Die meisten konnten erst nach dem Waffenstillstand vom Juni 1940 zurückkehren. Oft waren ihre Häuser und Wohnungen durch Kampfhandlungen, Witterung, Vandalismus und Plünderung beschädigt. Das Buch rekonstruiert diese bislang kaum bekannte Geschichte im deutsch-französischen Vergleich und bietet dadurch einen völlig neuen Blick auf den Weg zweier Gesellschaften und politischer Systeme in den Krieg.

In a compelling approach to storytelling, When Europe Was a Prison Camp weaves together two accounts of a family's eventual escape from Occupied Europe. One, a memoir written by the father in 1941; the other, begun by the son in the 1980s, fills in the story of himself and his mother, supplemented by historical research. The result is both personal and provocative, involving as it does issues of history and memory, fiction and "truth," courage and resignation. This is not a "Holocaust memoir." The Schrags were Jews, and Otto was interned, under execrable conditions, in southern France. But Otto, with the help of a heroic wife, escaped the camp before the start of massive transfers of prisoners "to the East," and Peter and his mother escaped from Belgium before the Jews were rounded up and sent to Auschwitz. Yet, the danger and suffering, the comradeship and betrayal, the naïve hopes and cynical despair of those in prison and those in peril are everywhere in evidence.

Camara Laye (1928?80) traveled to France from his native Guinea in 1947 on a scholarship to study automobile mechanics. While there, he was encouraged by a supporterøof the French Union to record the memories of his childhood. The resulting book, L'Enfant noir, was praised for its style and its uncritical attitude toward French colonization. A year later Laye published Le Regard du roi, a Kafkaesque story of a white man in Africa, which was very different in tone, style, and content from L'Enfant noir and from any other African literature being published at the time. L'Enfant noir and Le Regard du roi became seminal works of African fiction in French and were translated into English as The African Child and The Radiance of the King. Adele King met Camara Laye in 1978, two years before his death, and in 1980 published the principal study about him, The Writings of Camara Laye. In 1991 King set out to disprove rumors that Laye was not the author of one of his novels, Le Regard du roi. Instead she became convinced that the rumors were true and in the process unexpectedly discovered a far more interesting story about the creation of Laye as an author and public figure. Rereading Camara Laye describes King's research, which has taken more than ten years. Her inquiry involved finding those who knew Laye in Paris in the 1950s and interviewing them when possible as well as examining documents in libraries and archives in France and Belgium. King's findings provide important insights into French publishing and colonial politics in the years following World War II. She also shows how interpretations of Laye's novels have been shaped by the assumption that they were written by an African.

Ernest R. May's Strange Victory presents a dramatic narrative-and reinterpretation-of Germany's six-week campaign that swept the Wehrmacht to Paris in spring 1940. Before the Nazis killed him for his work in the French Resistance, the great historian Marc Bloch wrote a famous short book, Strange Defeat, about the treatment of his nation at the hands of an enemy the French had believed they could easily dispose of. In Strange Victory, the distinguished American historian Ernest R. May asks the opposite question: How was it that Hitler and his generals managed this swift conquest, considering that France and its allies were superior in every measurable dimension and considering the Germans' own skepticism about their chances? Strange Victory is a riveting narrative of those six crucial weeks in the spring of 1940, weaving together the decisions made by the high commands with the welter of confused responses from exhausted and ill-informed, or ill-advised, officers in the field. Why did Hitler want to turn against France at just this moment, and why were his poor judgment and inadequate intelligence about the Allies nonetheless correct? Why didn't France take the offensive when it might have led to victory? What explains France's failure to detect and respond to Germany's attack plan? It is May's contention that in the future, nations might suffer strange defeats of their own if they do not learn from their predecessors' mistakes in judgment.
