Fiery rhetoric aimed at the hated / Walloons, the Flemings’ adversaries in language-torn Belgium, / has always been as much a part of the event as the call / for peace among nations. In recent years the pilgrimage / has become a focus for the international Neo-Nazi movement. / In this photo members of the Vlaamese Militanten Orde (VLO), / a paramilitary Flemish organization, parade in uniform / through the streets of Diksmuide [sic]; stamped: [copyright] / HENNING CHRISTOPH / Kortumstr. 61 / 4300 Essen 1 – Germany / (0201) 79 80 89 / Volksbank Essen 395 070 / Postcheckkonto Essen 1066 29-438; stamped label: [star shape] / Credit: [copyright] 1981 / HENNING CHRISTOPH / from BLACK STAR; typed label: [German inscription]; handwritten: 7627//35
