Description

Il Draad, noto anche come Dodendraad o Dodenhek, era una barriera di filo spinato lunga 332 chilometri che durante la Prima Guerra Mondiale fu installata dagli occupanti tedeschi del Belgio lungo il confine tra il Belgio occupato e i Paesi Bassi neutrali. Nei documenti tedeschi, la barriera era ufficialmente designata come Grenzhochspannungshindernis. La barriera era sotto tensione elettrica mortale e doveva impedire che i volontari di guerra e i disertori tedeschi fuggissero dal Belgio. Inoltre, la recinzione doveva impedire che i rapporti di spionaggio dall'area occupata raggiungessero i servizi di spionaggio alleati tramite i Paesi Bassi e doveva fermare il contrabbando. Si stima che il Draad costò la vita a molte centinaia di persone, ma non poté impedire che migliaia di persone attraversassero il confine in vari modi. Dopo la guerra, il dodenhek fu rapidamente smantellato.
