Belgium to defend its neutrality
Friday, October 27, 1939 www.onwar.com

In Belgium... King Leopold III, in a broadcast to the USA, declares that Belgium is determined to defend its neutrality.

From the Vatican... Pope Pius XII issues his first encyclical, condemning racism, dictators and treaty violations.

In Germany... Newspaper commentaries complain about anti-Nazi propaganda in Belgian newspapers and suggest this is a breach of Belgian neutrality.

In Berlin... Hitler again commands his generals to prepare for the western offensive.

On the Western Front... There are reports of German troops massing in the Saar, along the Belgian, Dutch and Swiss frontiers and along the German North Sea coast.

In Washington... The US Senate approves amendments to the Neutrality Act, repealing the arms embargo provision.
