Description: "This book is about the way in which the citizen-army of Great Britain, the BLA, emerged from the slough of despondency in Holland, smashed, slowly and painfully, through the Siegfried Line, defeated Hitler's armies west of the Rhine, and fought five river crossing battles to reach the Baltic just before Stalin's Cossack army marauders. On the way they stormed the vital port of Bremen and captured Hamburg. They brought peace and liberation to most of Holland, to Denmark, to Norway, to tens of thousands of Allied prisoners of war, and succour for some millions of nomadic homeless and displaced persons, effectively slaves of the Nazi regime"--Page 19.
