BELGIUM: Cross of the Royal Federation of 
the Veterans of King Leopold III. 
In its box of issue, by Galere, Brussels.
King Leopold III was the supreme commander 
of the Belgian Armed forces during the 
German invasion in 1940. 
His decision to surrender the Belgian forces 
to the Germans, (exposing thus the allied
flank) was heavily criticized.
After the surrender, King Leopold remained 
in Brussels, while his entire government fled 
to Paris and later to London. 
Leopold III rejected cooperation with the 
Nazis and he was deported to Germany. His 
return to the throne, following the liberation 
of Belgium, almost started a civil war and 
Leopold III decided to abdicate in favor of 
his son Prince Baudouin, in 1951.125
