EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment in history when the German Naval Corps marched into the heart of Brussels, Belgium, during the early days of the First World War in 1914. The image shows a column of heavily armed German soldiers, clad in their distinctive uniforms and carrying rifles, making their way down a grand avenue lined with ornate buildings and ancient architecture. The men of the German Naval Corps, a key component of the Imperial German Army, had entered the city as part of the larger invasion of Belgium, which marked the beginning of the Great War. The occupation of the Belgian capital was a significant military and political move, as it allowed Germany to secure its western flank and deny the use of the Belgian ports to the Allied forces. The streets of Brussels were filled with the sounds of marching boots and the clatter of weapons as the German troops made their way through the city, marking the start of a long and devastating conflict that would reshape the world. This powerful image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a poignant reminder of the events that unfolded during those turbulent times.
