Analysis of the Sources collected

During the war, there were two types of newspapers : on one hand, the collaborators, controlled by the Germans, on the other hand the clandestine newspapers. It is evident that after the liberation, the clandestine freely reappear when the collaborators disappear.

The analysis is based on original press documents mainly from the daily press, the collaborators and the clandestine, representing the large ideological streams in French-speaking Belgium, but only about the bombing of the second stage i.e. 1943/1944.
