• Le sang rouge des Flamands
  This novel was published in 1914 as a serial in the socialist newspaper Le Peuple. During the First World War it was published in Berlin in a German translation Rotes Flame Blut, which was used by the Germans against the wishes of the author as a propaganda tool. Broodcoorens appeared to have suffered a nervous breakdown in 1918 as a result.
