Yes, the allies were not even allowed in Belgium until it was actually invaded. The Belgians did not want to do anything that would overtly pick a side. So the allies had to rush in and put up a defensive line when it was invaded which meant giving up eastern Belgium, before that they were deployed along the Franco-Belgium border.

Some people knew about it before then, the British captured von Thoma in 1942 in Africa and whilst a POW he was talking to another POW about these weapons and about how he visited the development site. The British had bugged his cell and so looked for and found the site and bombed it which delayed it.
