Early in 1945 the British Liberation Army (BLA), who had
battled their way from the Normandy beaches to the
borders of Germany, embarked on Operation Eclipse. This
was the `end-game' of the Second World War, the unique
military campaign to invade and conquer Hitler's Third
Reich and liberate 20 million enslaved nationals from
Holland, Denmark and Norway; to free multitudes of
displaced persons (DPs) or slaves; and inter alia to free
the survivors of twenty concentration camps and many
Allied POW camps. The Allied Military Government (AMG)
brought law and order to 23 million German nationals in
the allocated British zone of occupation (BAOR) and
appropriate retribution too. A thrilling race with
Stalin's Red Army ensued to reach the Baltic. A matter of
a few hours and Denmark and Norway would have been swept
into the evil Russian empire!
