Slag om Gijzenzele

Description

Imellem 20. og 22. maj 1940 fandt slaget om Gijzenzele sted her. Der blev både på tysk og belgisk side beklaget mange dødsofre. Den tyske artilleribeskydning forårsagede betydelig skade på bygninger og marker. Blandt andet blev kirken alvorligt beskadiget. Den 21. maj mistede ikke mindre end 28 belgiske soldater livet i Gijzenzele. Den sidste dag, 22. maj, da den belgiske hær trak sig tilbage, blev der brugt en stor mængde granater, hvilket førte til, at nogle bygninger gik op i flammer. I alt kostede kampen i Gijzenzele omkring 60 tyske soldater livet (andre kilder nævner 125 ofre). Denne kamp har indtil nu, blandt andet takket være Gijzels Genootschap af Kirkeuglen, en plads i det lokale samfund. Således har denne organisation udstukket ‘Halve Maan Rute’ langs de vigtigste steder i forbindelse med slaget om Gijzenzele.
