Front cover has map of Germany and Belgium. Cover has some wear and soiling. Spine has wear and tears. Texts in English, French, German, and Belgian. Based on 'A Word to the Reader.' We have collected a certain number of texts, facsimiles and other photographs of such a nature as to give an accurate picture of the heroic but deplorable situation of Belgium in the present war....It is not our purpose here, to reply to the systematic propaganda which has been carried on in neutral countries with an energy which is sufficient in itself to condemn it. Nothing is more convincing than the naked truth, and in the case of Belgium, the truth appears in a triple light....The reader will find, first of all, in the following pages, the story of Belgium's claim to independence...We shall next see in what manner Belgium met the threats and actual violation of her rights...Finally, by the contemplation of a long succession of appalling occurrences, we shall know by what systematic cruelty, injustice, and violation of the laws of war and of humanity itself, the aggressor has places a prosperous country under his yoke. The texts which have been reproduced speak for themselves, and may be verified in the historical and juridical works from which they have been collected, or in the newspapers of neutral or hostile countries which have called our attention to them...[and] enable the reader to realize the enormous extent of the damage inflicted on the victims of the invasion. Henri Davignon 1879-1964 was a noted Belgium author. More

The Legend indicates the Pre Nazi Boundaries (Outer, Inner, and Kress) and provides a Key to Administrative Divisions of Pre-Nazi Vienna (21 listed by Roman numerals), and also identified the Flying boat Alighting Area. The U.S.S.R., U.S.A., France, and U.K. zones are clearly marked. A small International area is also clearly mark and correlates with Administrative Division I, Innare Stradt. The 21 Administrative Divisions are indicated by both Roman numerals and Arabic numerals on the map. The Flying boat Alighting Area is identified by a circle and then a line to its identification in the Legend area. Most of the Legend and the identification of this as Map 'B' appear to be handwritten notations as opposed to having been printed onto the map at time of its production.

Includes Introductory Note, Memorandum of Transmittal, and Preface, as well as sections on The Program in Brief, The Program in Detail, Administration of the Program, and Economic Aspects of the Program. Appendixes will be printed as a separate document. The Enemy Branch of the Foreign Economic Administration made clear that this study should not be characterized as an expression of the adopted policy or program of the United States Government, except as the policy recommended may have been reflected in the Yalta Declaration, the Berlin Protocol, or public announcements by the President or the Secretary of State. This report was submitted as a final accounting of the work of the Enemy Branch. The content were related to the Morgenthau Plan for the partitioning of Germany and its disarmament and deindustrialization, but was distinct from that proposal. The report provides a support brief for the general principles on German economic and industrial disarmament. The report provides a specific and detailed program for executing those principles on German economic and industrial disarmament, and the report outlines a long-term program for a lasting and permanent control of Germany's war-making power.
