Voor Vlaanderen, Volk En Führer by Aline Sax

The accused had every reason to present himself to his greatest advantage, while the court searched for criminal acts, which is not the same as trying to find a (historical) explanation of the events. These are rich sources which, however, have to be read very critically by the historian. She took a random sample of one per cent of all Flemish collaborators sentenced for collaboration, which meant 326 different case files. Sax looked for an answer to three seemingly simple questions: Who were the collaborators? Why did they do what they did? What was their view of the world? She looked for answers in the post-war criminal proceedings of collaborators who have been sentenced after the war. The decision to leave out French-speaking Belgians seems reasonable because different collaboration movements developed along both sides of the Belgian language border. This book is one of the first attempts to study Flemish (Dutch-speaking Belgian) collaborators from a bottom-up perspective.

Up until now, collaboration with the National Socialist occupier in Belgium during the Second World War was mainly considered from a top-down perspective.
