Overview
The Reichskommissariat Belgien-Nordfrankreich, formally the Reich Commissariat for the Occupied Territories of Belgium and North France (German: Reichskommissariat für die besetzte Gebiete von Belgien und Nordfrankreich), was a Nazi German civil administration which governed most of occupied Belgium and northern parts of occupied France in the second half of 1944 during World War II.
The Reichskommissariat was established on 13 July 1944 by Hitler's "Erlaß des Führers über die Errichtung einer Zivilverwaltung in den besetzten Gebieten von Belgien und Nordfrankreich vom 13. Juli 1944". It replaced an earlier military government, the Military Administration in Belgium and Northern France, established in the same territory in 1940.
