I lived for three years in Brussels in the late 1970’s ( nuke power , Westinghouse ) , but on weekends had church assignmennts in various cities in that region of Belgium.
I met an old man on one assignment near the French border who was in the anti-Nazi underground , and to punish a female who had given her favors to German troops , they took her to the woods , tied her down , put a large church bell on her bare stomach and a large rat under the bell .
It ate its way out ! He relished telling the story . I had a hard time eating my lunch that day .
