Apparently, the inhabitants -were removed !so that the Germans billeted m the town could have a free hand over the' houses and their contents. The south and east' sides of the ! Grande Place were blown^to the ground. Many houses m one part of the town; Arere burned, apparently out. of sheer caprice. The handsome City Hall was stripped of its candelabra*, arid the archives there were thrown about m confusion.
