Our army continued the occupation of England. Slowly, cleaning everything that moves. And what didn’t move, we stirred and cleaned up. Methodically. With feeling, with sense, with arrangement. Before the occupation, the British suffered three unpleasant surprises. The first surprise was the news that the “Russian bear” would pass Germany without fighting, since the Germans had given a corridor for our troops to pass towards the Atlantic. No one expected the Germans to surrender without a fight. And the Germans, overjoyed that they would not have to fight ours, not only gave a corridor, but also shared secrets about England and its armed forces.
