This issue contains four articles.

Stef de Baedts writes about the evolution of the ideological worldview of Flemish Eastern Front volunteers during the Second World War. Matthew G. Stanard (professor at Berry College in Mt. Berry, Georgia) publishes an article on the film Bwana Kitoko ('Handsome Lord') by André Cauvin, an influential yet today somewhat forgotten film. Vincent Mazy (Université Catholique de Louvain-la-Neuve) is the author of an article on the Saint-Léonard prison in Liège, a German-run prison during the First World War.
