23rd Hussars War Diary, May 1945: 4 - 9 "A" and "B" at Strukdorf and "C" at Niendorf. A period of waiting. Frequent change of orders, disappointing to those whose one aim was to get to Husum as quickly as possible. VE night was celebrated by the lighting of bonfires and a display of Verey lights and Mortar flares. A certain amount of Stolzenhau Hock was consumed.
