 * Symbol voting keep.svg Long enough, new enough, no copyvio issues detected, interesting, variety of sources listed, but mostly based on Domoulin and Zuckerman. The article has some weaknesses in ignoring the current German research on the topic, see de:Rape of Belgium and as well some overlap to the enWP rape of belgium entry. That said, its still OK for DYK. I prefer Alt1.
