Daniel van Basten

“Belgium may not have had the imperial might of Germany. Belgium may not have been blessed with the same level of industrial prowess. Belgium certainly didn’t have the same manpower. But what the Battle of Liege did manage to showcase to the Allies, Europe and the rest of the world, was that if you had the stomach for battle, a strong enough motive to succeed and an irrevocable love for one’s country, these factors alone could drive you to an outcome in the realms of the impossible.”
― Daniel van Basten, WWI: The Battle of Liege - The First World War Battle
