  • The Battle of Dinant was an engagement fought by French and German forces in and around the Belgian town of Dinant in the First World War, during the German invasion of Belgium. The French Fifth Army and the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) advanced into Belgium and fought the Battle of Charleroi (21–23 August) and Battle of Mons (23 August), from the Meuse crossings in the east, to Mons in the west. On 15 August 1914, German troops captured the Citadel of Dinant which overlooked the town; the citadel was recaptured by a French counter-attack during the afternoon. French troops spent the next few days fortifying the Meuse crossings and exchanging fire with German troops on the east bank. A German raiding-party drove into Dinant on the night of 21/22 August but the attack degenerated into a fiasco, in which Germans may have fired at each other. Rather than consider that the small-arms fire may have come from the French troops on the west bank, the German soldiers blamed Belgian civilians, killing seven and burning down 15 to 20 houses in reprisal. The raiders withdrew having suffered 19 dead and 117 wounded. On 23 August, the Germans attacked Dinant again, under the impression that the town was full of francs-tireurs (civilian irregular forces, who were defined as terrorists under German military law). German troops of the 3rd Army massacred 674 unarmed Belgian civilians while fighting French troops, who were still dug in along the west bank and on the east end of the bridge. The massacre was another reprisal against anticipated civilian resistance and was the largest of the German war crimes perpetrated during the invasion, which became collectively known as the Rape of Belgium.

Um grupo de ataque rápido alemão dirigiu-se até Dinant na noite de 21 para 22 de Agosto, mas a operação resultou em fracasso, pensando-se, até, que os alemães tivessem disparado sobre eles próprios. Em vez de assumirem que o fogo de pequenas armas tivesse tido origem nos franceses que estavam na margem esquerda do rio, os alemães apontaram as culpas aos civis belgas, matando sete e incendiando 15–20 houses. Os atacantes fugiram, deixando para trás 19 mortos e 117 feridos. Em 23 de Agosto, as forças alemãs atacaram Dinant de novo, pensando que a cidade estava cheia de franco-atiradores, e mataram 674 civis belgas desarmados, enquanto combatiam contra os franceses entrincheirados na margem esquerda do rio e na ponta leste da ponte.

  • 迪南戰役是第一次世界大戰中德國入侵比利時期間,法國和德國軍隊在比利時小鎮迪南和周圍進行的一場戰役。 1914年8月15日,德軍佔領了俯瞰小鎮的迪南城堡,而該城堡在下午被法軍奪回。在接下來的幾天裡,法國軍隊加強了防禦,並與默茲河東岸的德軍交火。8月21-22日晚上,一支德國突擊隊攻入迪南,但最終慘敗,德軍甚至向友軍開火。德軍並沒有假設敵軍攻擊來自於西岸的法軍,而是將責任歸咎於比利時平民,並以處死7人並燒毀15至20所房屋作為報復。 8月23日,德軍再次襲擊迪南,將該鎮平民都認為是可能的對手,並在與西岸的法軍作戰時屠殺了674名手無寸鐵的比利時平民。 (zh)
