The sky above Antwerp shook with the thunder of German guns, on October 8th 1914 the last great Belgian
fortress faced its trial, King Albert and eighty thousand defenders held the
city while General von Beseler brought massive siege artillery including the giant Big Bertha howitzers,
the bombardment tore through the outer forts, concrete walls crumbled and garrisons were
buried, British marines of the Royal Naval Division rushed in to help but the
firepower was overwhelming, by the 9th the inner defenses were collapsing, civilians fled in panic,
the Belgian army retreated west to fight another day, and Antwerp fell into German hands
