As early as World War I, Fromme had acted as a propagandist for a "Germanic power", a "Germanic culture" in Flanders, a "Germanic feeling" and "resistance" in the Flemish population and against "French" influence. Above all, the World War brought about "the self-reflection of the Flemish on their own Germanic nationality. When a special camp was set up in Brandenburg (Stalag XX A, 301) in the summer of 1940 to set up a military 'Irish Brigade', Fromme traveled to various POW camps and conducted recruitment and examination interviews with potential Irish collaborators. At that time he was working as an agent ("the professor") of Abwehr II, department "Sabotage, Subversion, Minorities".
