Welke toekomst voor een bevrijd België ? Hoe de Vlaamse verzetspers zich voorbereidde op het einde van de Tweede Wereldoorlog

Abstract
This article focuses on the future of Belgium after the liberation as represented in the Flemish resistance press during the Second World War. It gives an overall picture of this vision of the future and also considers its relevance for Flanders. Did this vision fit into the political debate of the pre- and post-war period? Was the relatively limited impact of the resistance and the fact that it was erased from the Flemish war memory caused by the absence of an attractive or relevant vision for the future? Based on the analysis of the vision of the future, this study aims to demonstrate that the message of the Flemish resistance press was definitively relevant for Flanders and presented a continuity with subjects that were already of interest during the interwar period. It was not so much the lack of relevance of the message of the resistance, but the specific Belgian political culture that was essential for the fate of the resistance as a political actor and for the absence of the resistance in Flemish war memory.
