Forming the head and body of the Belgian army, the new army HQ and infantry squad are ready to prove their worth on the battlefield.
Belgian Army HQ
Like most European armies, Belgian Army officers were recruited from the upper-middle class of society. Officers were well-educated and affluent. They were confident and trained on par with their French and British counterparts.
Belgian Infantry Squad
A Belgian infantry section consists of ten men. A section is led by a sergeant carrying either an MP-28 submachine gun or a Fusil 1889 rifle. The sergeant is supported by a corporal carrying a rifle. The Fusil-mitrailleur 1930 (FM 30) Browning Light Machine Gun or “Belgian BAR” served as the section LMG, which was carried and operated by one man. The remaining seven riflemen carried the Fusil 1889 rifle, one of which is a dedicated rifle grenadier carrying a rifle adapted to shoot grenades.
Belgian Defence Force 1939 – 1940
With the German Blitzkrieg knocking at their door, the Belgians train their forces to hold the Axis onslaught off and stop their conquest at the first stop.
