On November 7, the King of Belgium made a joint public appeal with the Queen of the Netherlands, calling on all belligerents to accept mediation to terminate the war. Invasion of Belgium by Germany started on May 10, 1940 under the operational plan <i>Fall Gelb</i> and formed part of the greater Battle of France together with invasions of the Netherlands and Luxembourg. The Belgians put up a short-lived resistance and it took 18 days only before the country was subdued. Diplomatic considerations had led them to make very limited preparations for invasion and the attack was immediately successful.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]201313.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Belgium - 5 Centimes - 1942 - KM #124</p><p>[ATTACH]201315.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]201314.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Belgium - 10 Centimes - 1943 - KM #125</p><p>[ATTACH]201317.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]201318.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
