I Was A Prisoner

This is Leon Degrelle's story of his illegal arrest and abduction, transfer to France and survival during the German advances into Belgium and France. Degrelle was the founder of the Rexist Party in Belgium between World War I and II, the proper name being the Party of Christus Rex - of Christ the King. While known primarily today as a Waffen SS General and commander of the 26th Waffen SS Division Wallonia, Degrelle was much more than that. A dedicated, committed Catholic he fought for a Catholic corporativist State promoted by the Popes for Belgium. For this he was hated by the establishment in Belgium, a nominally Cath-olic country, and for which he was dragged through the Belgian and French prison systems, gulags if you will. Barely surviving the experience - many of the other anti-communist Belgians did not - he became even more committed to restoring Chris-tendom, defeating Bolshevism, and establishing a state for the true welfare of the Belgian people and Europe. This is a horror story of one man and his religious faith surviving in the face of those who wanted to kill him and erase him from history - and they persisted following the war, trying him in absentia and condemning him to death.
