Liberation
As the Germans surrender was seemingly part of their overall surrender at the end of the war is 'liberation' the right term to use? Liberation implies action not just waiting for an overall surrender.

Liberation is the correct term. One must really qualify the description of the bombardment in Spring 1945 to indicate that of all the participants, Howard Zinn, was the only one to describe it as a "crime." It should say that Howard Zinn called it a "crime." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.151.13.8 (talk) 20:09, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

Brest
"La Rochelle remained in German hands until the end of the war, much as other Atlantic harbours such as Brest, Saint-Nazaire, Lorient, Gironde-Nord, Gironde-Sud because the main thrust of the war was more concerned with focusing on Germany itself."

As far as I know, Brest was not in German hands, until the end of the war, but it was surrended on 19 September 1944. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.67.232.212 (talk) 16:28, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
