The mild spring twilight gave no hint of the torrent of blood and fire that would sweep down on Belgium and her neighbours the very next day.\u003cbr\u003eOn the 10th of May, there were hardly any soldiers to be seen in the Roman city of Tongres, on the borders of Limbourg, in the province of Liège. And while the German Stukas rained down their cargoes of bombs on the town, I crept through the streets towards the supply store of my Company.","brand":"Untold Stories by Jourdan Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47117651837168,"sku":"9782390090922","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9782390090922_p0.jpg?v=1772807065","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9782390090922","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
