OP14RCL World War I special call
OP14RCL Leuven October 1 – November 1
OP14RCL: With this special event call Radio Club Leuven (RCL) commemorates during the month of October the centenary of 'LEUVEN ON FIRE' and 'BUILDINGS IN TEARS'.
WO I: On 4 August 1914 German troops crossed the Belgian border. They left a trail of looting, numerous civilian casualties and destruction of centuries-old heritage. Leuven was occupied on 19 August 1914. German troops started to loot and burn the city systematically on 25 August 1914. Large parts of Leuven were destroyed, over 200 civilians were murdered and many others were mistreated and remained traumatised for years. After three days of looting, few buildingd in Leuven remained standing. Nearly all important monuments had been destroyed, only the town hall was left intact. The destruction of the University Library of major historical importance was symbolic. This caused indignation all over the world and diminished Germany's prestige in many countries.
