Summary:
Description: The day of reckoning arrives for a Belgian collaborator as he is taken away under arrest by members of L'Armee Blanche, the Belgian resistance movement. Escorted by armed civilians and British troops from the 4th Battalion King's Shropshire Light Infantry, some of the six thousand Luftwaffe, Kriegsmarine and Wehrmacht soldiers taken prisoners by the battalion in Antwerp are marched from the zoo to the Central Station where lorries are waiting to take them to permanent POW cages. In the zoo itself, German prisoners of war and Belgian collaborators sit in empty cages while awaiting transfer to more suitable accommodation.
