Belgium's home movie-makers brought their cameras out of hiding 40 years ago as the advancing allied armies ended Nazi domination.
Many risked their lives to record their own liberation - the frantic departure of German troops by horse and farm cart - then the rejoicing and the revenge.
For the first time a fascinating record of the liberation has been compiled from these amateur black and white films: sniper attacks on the departing Germans; the arrival of the first British tank in Brussels; the delirious welcome by the Belgian girls
(some 2,000 British troops later married, settling in Flanders); the arrest and summary punishment of collaborators - women having their heads shaved in public, their breasts daubed with swastikas; the horror of mock burials.
Both liberators and liberated, and a collaborator with the Germans, recall their part in that September in Belgium. Cameraman TONY POOLE Sound SIMON PARMENTER VT editor KEN PIMENTA

'It's strange without me mum because me mum's always been there to say, "do this, do that, Hoover in there, or dust in here, go and make the beds, or wash the dishes....'"
Christine Greenwood works in the character jug shop in one of Royal Doulton's pottery factories. She is engaged to Mick, a salesman. The film follows the three days which lead up to their wedding.
Christine must go through a raucous traditional ritual on the factory floor which ends with her being tied up to a post in the street outside. As the wedding itself approaches, Christine wonders how she will adjust to living without her mother, while her parents worry about the young couple's future in the current economic climate. As her mother says, 'If this
(salesman's) job doesn't work out I don't know what they will do. I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed for them.' Film cameraman
