Liberation : Europe 1945

The traditional image of Europe in 1945 is of grateful civilians showering soldiers with flowers. In reality, liberation was a violent and chaotic process. Using first-hand accounts, this book shows that the motives and behaviour of the Allied forces were far from noble; they frequently abused power and looted homes and sexually assaulted women.
