The rape of Belgium was going on. Some Belgium businessmen came together and asked the Germans for permission to buy food for their people. The Germans agreed.
America answered the call. Many bags of flour and such were sent. All the bags had to be returend to America.
What amazed me is that the Belgium people stitched them with messages or made pillows with the sacks.
If you get a chance there is a large collection of these former sacks in the Hoover Library.
