The Liberation of Hong Kong, 1945

Story:
After 18 days of fighting, on Christmas day 1941, Governor Sir Mark Young surrendered the territory to the Japanese. The people of Hong Kong lived in misery during the Japanese Occupation which lasted for three years and eight months. In August 1945, atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, forcing the Japanese to surrender on 15 August. Rear-Admiral Harcourt re-occupied Hong Kong on 30 August 1945 with his fleet and established a British Military Administration.
