Coming out of semi-retirement to review this after Brigade Piron asked, hope no one else objects. I'll do it as quickly as i can ★★RetroLord★★ 09:54, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
"The country was mostly liberated" I'm not sure this is completely appropriate, perhaps a bit too subjective to say "liberated"? Might need changing.
" theatres of war around the globe" The article mentions fighting in europe and africa, could we rephrase this to be a bit more precise?
- On reflection, I don't think that paragraph adds much at all that is needed in the intro. I've removed it.Brigade Piron (talk) 11:58, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
While not a GA point, the lead could perhaps be re-formatted to remove those two stand alone paragraphs at the bottom.
" Fall of France" Not sure Fall should be capitalised, also, perhaps surrender? Fall seems a bit excesive.
"Belgium was run by a German military government under General Alexander von Falkenhausen until July 1944, and then under Reichskommissar Josef Grohé until liberation." Citations?
"After the war, many of those who had collaborated actively with the German occupiers – including the political leaders of fascist parties and the guards at Breendonk concentration camp – were tried, imprisoned or shot." References/citations?

"The resistance would aid the airmen by giving them false papers and guiding them to either neutral or Allied occupied territory." refs?
Preliminary review complete. Once we've addressed those i'll use a table and get everything else. Shouldn't be too hard. Good work on the article Brigade, ★★RetroLord★★ 05:12, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
- Hi Retrolord, many thanks! I'll work on finding some of the citations you mention. "Fall of France" and "Liberation" are pretty standard terms in history writing on the subject, I hope they don't represent POV terms. Many thanks again for your work here! ---Brigade Piron (talk) 11:48, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
