Liberation of Belgium (1944)
The liberation of Belgium was completed on 4 February 1945 when the entire country was reportedly free of German troops.〔(Liberation of Belgium | World War II Database )〕 The operation began when Allied forces entered on 2 September 1944. The liberation came after four years of Nazi rule. The Belgian government was returned to power on 8 September 1944, after Allied forces captured Brussels four days earlier.〔European journal of American Studies, 'A Modern Liberation'. Belgium and the start of the American Century 1944-1946 by Peter Schrijvers〕
==Operation begins==
The invasion began with the 2nd Canadian Division entering Belgium on the 2 September. The Welsh Guards landed and join the fight on the 4 September with minimal resistance.〔http://www.army.mod.uk/documents/general/2nd_Battalion_Welsh_Guards_history.pdf〕 The British Second Army captured Antwerp, the costal city that lies on the border with the Netherlands, on 4 September as well. In the following days and weeks, the Battle of the Scheldt claimed many lives, as the port of Antwerp could not be operated effectively without control of the Scheldt estuary. The port at Antwerp was the first port to be captured by the Allies in near perfect condition, making it very valuable, especially with its deep water facilities. On 6 September, the 4th Canadian Armoured Division crossed the border with Belgium and took areas around Ypres and Passchendaele.〔(Engagements fought by the 4th Armoured Brigade in 1944 )〕
