Belgium, the homeland of the Flemings, was occupied by Germany during the Great War of 1914. So was France, in whose northern regions many Flemings lived. Feldgendarmerie Feldwebel Adolf Hitler was pleased by the presence of Flemings in Lille, as he considered them of excellent Germanic stock, close to his own kind and far superior to the "degraded" French. Jean-Marie Gantois, a local priest, had views on the subject to Hitler's liking. Much to Hitler's disappointment, most Flemings were content to assimilate as Frenchmen.

  • Flemings is a chain of supermarkets in Sydney, Australia. The chain is owned by Woolworths Limited and only two supermarkets still trade under the Flemings brand name. Internally they are known as Woolworths, feature the same marketing materials and carry the same home brand products. The remaining Flemings supermarkets are located at Bexley North and Jannali. The Pendle Hill store was refurbished and rebranded Woolworths in late 2009. The Umina Beach store on the Central Coast of NSW closed on 17 June 2010 because Woolworths opened a new store opposite the old Flemings store.

  • Belgium, the homeland of the Flemings, was occupied by Germany during the Great War of 1914. So was France, in whose northern regions many Flemings lived. Feldgendarmerie Feldwebel Adolf Hitler was pleased by the presence of Flemings in Lille, as he considered them of excellent Germanic stock, close to his own kind and far superior to the "degraded" French. Jean-Marie Gantois, a local priest, had views on the subject to Hitler's liking. Much to Hitler's disappointment, most Flemings were content to assimilate as Frenchmen. Hitler came to realize that his German accent could pass as Flemish. Thus, he assumed the persona of Koppensteiner, a Flemish merchant from Antwerp, when he went undercover in search of communist agitator Jacques Doriot.
