During the last month of the war, the Allies directed their man offensive against Germany. The Canadians, whose mission was to liberate the Netherlands, pushed to the north and west. The enemy had not yet surrendered and the Canadian advance met with stiff resistance. They liberated village after village, and the Dutch, wild with joy, took to the streets in celebration.
By April 28, German military leaders knew that the end was near. A truce was negotiated and food began to reach the starving civilian population. General Johannes Blaskowitz, commander of the occupation forces, surrendered to Lietenant-General Foulkes of 1st Canadian Army Corps on May 5, 1945.
The war in the Netherlands was finally over!
In early May, Queen Wilhelmina and Princess Juliana returned to the Netherlands. The little princesses, Beatrix, Irene and Margriet, joined their parents later during the summer of 1945.
