Comparison between the National perspective and the “official” interpretation

The word “national” is not necessary appropriate. There is no “national” point of view concerning the bombings, that is to say about the collaborators newspapers. For they don’t represent a “national” opinion, but only the occupying forces.

On the other hand, the clandestine newspapers, representing the large ideological streams in French-speaking Belgium, generally present the Anglo-American air raids as the cost to be paid for the victory and the liberation of the country.
