- Title
De collaboratie van Hendrik de Man.
- Authors
MONFREDA, PASQUALE
- Abstract
This article discusses Hendrik de Man's political development leading to his collaboration and sentence in the 1946-1950 period. Because of his attitude, ideas and collaboration with the German occupying forces, Hendrik de Man was a most undesirable person in post-war Belgium. We start off with the heavy sentence he was given and examine the main factors eventually leading to his being sidelined. Political parties, unions and judicial authorities played a role in making this decision. Moreover, a number of key people involved in his trial knew each other, because they had the same academic background and shared it with de Man. Source materials for this article include the dossier on the de Man trial and the court-martial charges resulting from the preliminary investigation conducted by the Judge Advocate General, Walter Ganshof Van der Meersch.
