Belgium was a neutral country during the war. However, Hitler had his troops move through Belgium on their way to attack France so he could bypass the Maginot Line of static defenses the French had built following WWI.

Belgium declared neutrality prior to the war but Germany needed to invade to get to France. Unlike many European monarchies, the King of Belgium stayed in the country and collaborated to a degree with the Germans. Many Flemish nationalists saw the invasion as a chance to separate from the Walloon dominated Kingdom and actually helped the Germans.
