Unixman Posted 10 August , 2014 Share Posted 10 August , 2014 I am trying to find an accessible book that continues the story past the Armistice. Pretty well every book stops on 11th Nov, frequently with that famous German machine gunner firing off his last belt, bowing and retreating. But, of course, military operations didn't stop at that point ( although the fighting did). The Liberation of Brussels, advance to the Rhine etc ....Any ideas?

Chris_Baker Posted 10 August , 2014 Share Posted 10 August , 2014 There is a volume of the British Official History that covers the advance into Germany and the period of the Army of Occupation. It is not the most scintillating of reads, but is good for the basics of the period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulgranger Posted 10 August , 2014 Share Posted 10 August , 2014 'The Road Home' by Max Arthur covers some aspects of the aftermath, but may not be quite what you are after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastSurrey Posted 11 August , 2014 Share Posted 11 August , 2014 Some regimental histories, e.g.Pearse & Sloman's for the E.Surrey Regiment, do cover the advance to the Rhine, occupation of the Rhineland,etc. in the West, as well as ops. in Russia (on which there are many other works), the occupation of Constantinople,etc. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
