Wies Moens (28 January 1898 – 5 February 1982) was a Belgian literary historian, poet and Flamingant activist.
The Flemish Literary Society requested his release through a petition signed by many, and in March 1921 Moens was set free.
The Dutchman Fernand Lodewick [nl] put it as follows: "Wies Moens' zeal for the Greater Netherlands idea was accompanied by a growing preference for a fascist attitude to life, as a result of which his later 'verses' turned into political pamphlets."
During World War II, at the start of the occupation, he applied to become inspector of public libraries: a well-paid job that left a lot of free time.
He received support from the German authorities, but secretary-general Marcel Nyns [nl] opposed it and appointed Gerard Walschap to the position.
