The Battle of Hasselt stirred global commotion, with international media extensively reporting this victory on their front pages.
The Times of England:
"It was, after all, just one day, only one day."
"Although Germany surrendered on the fifth day after the battle, it only took Shire's First Armored Army a day to set out and capture Hasselt for a decisive victory."
"Shire has once again created his own legend, defeating his opponent in just one day."
"What's more astonishing is that he achieved such a brilliant victory at the cost of only a little over a thousand men, and even with the Belgian Army included, the casualties were just over eight thousand."
"On the other hand, our engagement at the River Somme continues, and our army can match Shire's feats in just one day, in terms of casualty figures."
