We speak to Jeff Lipkes, author of "Rehearsals: The German Army in Belgium, August 1914" written in an effort to set the record straight regarding the atrocities committed against innocent civilians during the initial first weeks of the German Invasion of Belgium often referred to as the "Rape of Belgium." A first hand account of the aqueduct massacre told by Adele Houbion Charlier appears in this book. Jeff and Anne Marie discuss the background and reason he wrote the book in this episode.
