Description

" "Onze Taal" was a newspaper published for Flemish-speaking prisoners of war at Goettingen. This is a copy of the front page of the 3 March 1915 issue. The Germans developed Goettingen as a propaganda camp for Flemish prisoners of war, in which these POW's received special privileges. The Germans sought to cultivate good relations with these men during the war in anticipation of their post-war occupation goals for Belgium.
