An Englishwoman is trying to pull an iron rod out of the rubble. The picture is like the famous legendary sword in the stone, but it is a little sad to watch.

There are many more people around her who are working, and there is always a long recovery process after the war has passed.

The citizens of London are now recovering, both North London, which is still the capital of the United Kingdom, and South London, which is the German-occupied zone, are trying their best to get out of the shadow of the war.

Whether the war is lost or won, life will still pass. So the people here forget about the pain and start a new life.

The British in German-occupied South London had to get used to the newcomers, the soldiers in black SS uniforms, and the decent-looking German officers.

More mild-mannered than they might have been, these German officers were not as vicious as the government advertised at the time.

Most of the garrison was on the outskirts, and only a small number of SS troops moved into the city, setting up checkpoints at the bridgeheads of all the bridges over the Thames.

The original time has passed, and the new border between Germany and Britain is no longer allowed to travel at will. There were barricades, barbed wire, and slim-looking MG-42 machine guns.

However, the new occupiers are polite, and as long as they don't challenge their bottom line, they tend to be more restrained.

For example, these newcomers are actually very scammery, and like to exchange bestsellers such as cigarettes for small souvenirs of the locals.

Some of the dignified-looking officers also liked to have their guards give candy to the little ones on the streets.

Just like when the Germans entered Paris, France, everyone thought each other was pretty good at the beginning.

The old-fashioned British adhered to their own code of conduct, and they got up on time every day to resume their lives and production, and began to gradually emerge from the shadow of war.

Although after entering the era of hot weapons, the speed of human destruction will be several times faster than the speed of construction, but this does not mean that the progress of recovery is slow.

In just a few days, most of the destroyed houses in South London have been cleared, and some German construction trucks are trying to help the locals rebuild their homes.

The imposing-looking No. 4 maintenance tank, which has been converted into an armored maintenance vehicle with a huge boom by removing the turret of the tank, has become a popular and sought-after item among the locals.

German engineers, as well as some special vehicles, and even military vehicles are very popular, and like goodwill ambassadors, they carry out a variety of people-friendly tasks.

There will be a lot of kids who don't know what it means to be scared, chasing after the truck, begging for some candy and chocolate candy.

Although supplies are still scarce, they are much better than in a state of war. Many British ships began to join the Channel because the profits were so exciting.

With enough ships, Britain has regained some confidence. The German occupation zone, in particular, will always get more supplies.

"The flour of the Germans is even worse than what we distributed before." A man in an Italian military uniform without a collar badge or number number insignia complained as he carried broken bricks.

Germany did not have time to produce too many clothes and provided local collaborators with proof of identity.

The Soviet-German war had begun, and a large number of military uniforms had been transported to the battlefields of the Eastern Front, and more clothing factories had been transformed to produce thick clothing for the winter.

In this environment, the Germans had no way to take care of the British, who had already surrendered, so a lot of material resources were trying to make do with it.

For example, for good citizens of the United Kingdom, or collaborators, Germany will provide clothing to prove their identity.

And these clothes are from the Italian military's reserves...... With these clothes, the scenery in the occupied area of southern London is not the same as that of northern London.

British civilians in Italian uniforms can always be seen in the streets, and they are not armed, but they are more enviable and disgusting than they are.

As submissive subservients, these people will of course be disgusted by the anti-German commoners at heart.

Because the German occupiers had a lot of policy and intelligence, they needed the support of these collaborators. They are responsible for carrying out orders and maintaining law and order in a small area.

However, as collaborators, they often have access to more living materials than others, so they are indeed enviable.

Unfortunately, when these Italian uniforms were issued, there were no hats - they looked shabby and ugly, as if they were overalls.

It's a pity that it's a job, a job that can bring food. So in a short period of time, this job has become an option that requires competition.

When recruiting such collaborators, the Germans often asked to be able to speak German, and it would be better if they had German roots.

In reality, getting more black bread and flour mixed with impurities does not make these people in ugly Italian military uniforms shut their dissatisfied mouths.

"That's it! You still have brown bread at home! Our family can only get the oatmeal porridge distributed on time, which is called oatmeal, but where is the oat? "A man in an old suit, shoveling the ruins with a shovel, chatting alongside.

Two German soldiers standing not far from them, with rifles on their backs, leaned under the street lamps and were also chatting. They spoke in German, as if they had had had an affair yesterday evening.

Also like in Paris, France, there are gold marks where you can buy supplies, chocolates and cigarettes, whether it is a German soldier or a German officer, it is a very popular presence in some neighborhoods.

The night is more beautiful than the day, and the women there are more enchanting than during the day. Sometimes there would even be cars parked there, jumping off the whole car and laughing German soldiers.

Just as the French said after the Germans occupied Paris: soon there will be hordes of German children here......

These British people worked so hard to restore their homeland, and only by clearing out the ruins could they rebuild their houses here.

Not all of the buildings have collapsed, and at least a third of them are still there with the perseverance they are still holding.

Even some half-collapsed houses are still inhabitable, and the demands of people after the war are often not high.

A car staggered through the street, one by one on top of it, reminding people that it was time to eat again.

Oatmeal mixed with the smell of gasoline, soaked in black bread and moldy black bread. Occasionally, there will be some vegetable leaves, which are definitely something that will surprise those who eat them.

It's not an easy task to feed millions more. Therefore, although Germany lifted the blockade, Germany itself did not have enough supplies.

Add to that France and Spain, and even Italy, supplies have always been a headache, and not all countries are as rich as the United States.

There's really nothing to complain about, because everyone's eyes are not blind. They saw that many German soldiers also ate this kind of food, except that the other side might occasionally have canned food and dried sausages to improve their lives.

Potatoes and bean soup were almost always the main theme of German soldiers' food in the real World War II.

Being able to eat a good dinner is definitely a good way to boost morale. As the war progressed to a disadvantage, sumptuous dinners became more and more rare.

Now, Germany is still on the rise, and after defeating the British, France and the Netherlands and Belgium still have large tracts of farmland to exploit.

But these still have to wait for some time, the millet and wheat have just been sown, and the harvest will not be until after July.

This time it seemed a little different, and behind the truck, there was also a classic German barrel car.

The citizens of southern London can see such cars every day, with thin doors and a rusty appearance, which looks rustic.

Compared to the cars that used to run on the streets of London, the Germans were as silly as the obsolete agricultural vehicles.

There was no way, Marshal Liszt's wide-bodied, brightly glossy Mercedes-Benz could not show its presence in front of thousands of German barrel cars.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that under the order of the Führer, the production process of German barrel cars is becoming more and more simplified.

This was not the case with the German equipment of the past, it was more like a piece of art. It's a pity that those boutiques are now rare, replaced by the ultimate simplified version at an affordable price.

The barrel cart staggered to a halt on the side of the street, its wooden doors twisting as if they were farm gates.

The German officer pushed open the crooked wooden door, jumped out of the car, and looked at the working British citizen with his head held high behind his back.

The two German soldiers who were standing next to the rubble were already standing next to the car. They raised their arms to the officer, and gave a German salute.

"The weather is nice today...... Unlike yesterday, it rained all day, and it ruined my mood. The German officer teased the weather, took off his gloves and held them in his hands.

"Call the person in charge here." Then he got to the point, after all, he still had two or three streets to run, and the time was a bit short.

"Hey! John! Come here! A German soldier turned to the side and shouted to the man in the distance who had just complained about bad bread.

So, the man in the Italian military uniform dropped his work, patted himself on the back, and ran quickly down the pile of rubble, and stood in front of the German officer.

"Victory! Monarch! He saluted in standard German, and at the same time raised his arm and gave a straight salute.
