Для оправдания собственных действий по вынужденному применению вооруженной силы и предотвращению агрессии, вызванной интервенцией немецких войск на территорию Бельгии, в британской периодической печати получил распространение сюжет об «ее изнасиловании». В современной исторической науке, особенно британской, этот вопрос широко изучается. Однако ученые-историки при его исследовании не учитывают ...
