The Liberation of London

Fires continue to rage in central London, but it is believed that most of the city's German occupiers have either fallen in battle or been captured by the advancing Soviet forces. Crowds have emerged on the streets to cheer the Russians on as they move to deal with the last stubborn holdouts. Collaborators have been dealt with harshly, and the Soviets have organized an interim council to administrate the liberated city until further notice. Critics have observed that the members of this council all appear to have been drawn from the Communist Party of Great Britain.
