Meanwhile, both B and D Company commanders were put in touch with the divisions involved in the capture of Wesermünde and Cuxhaven, where our final objectives lay. The 51st Division went to Wesermünde and the Guards Panzer Division to Cuxhaven. Both divisions moved into their respective towns and areas on 7 May and it was agreed that T Force would move in with the divisional reconnaissance troops to capture all objectives as early as possible.

D Company arrived at Hesedorf on 6 May and arranged with the Guards Panzer Division to move into Cuxhaven with the Guards the following day. The company set out at daybreak on 7 April over the most shocking roads ever encountered. The congestion on the roads and in the town of Cuxhaven itself was so great that it took nearly three hours to cover the last ten miles. This was due to the enormous number of German horse-drawn vans and marching columns entering assembly areas on their own orders.

However, the outskirts of Cuxhaven were finally reached at about 21:00. The command and Platoons Nos. 13, 14 and 15 went to Altenwalde, which was about six miles from Cuxhaven. Platoon No. 16 went alone in search of its target, the Coastal Commander - German Bight (Headquarters of the Flag Officer Commanding, The Bight), with special orders to arrest Admiral Kleinkamp.

Platoon No. 16 arrived and reported the occupation of the flag officer's headquarters with the admiral himself and fifty captured staff officers.

Die Züge waren nun wie folgt aufgestellt:

Platoon No. 13 in Altenbruch, guarding another admiral.

Platoon No. 14 in Nordholz, the Navy's main interception and tracking station.

Platoon No. 15 at the German weapons test range near Altenwalde.

Flag Officer Commanding, No. 16 Platoon, The Bight.

On arrival at his destination, Lieutenant Hare found large quantities of ammunition ready for delivery and large contingents of railway-mounted artillery awaiting delivery. V-1 launch pads were also found.

T Force's operations at Cuxhaven went very smoothly until orders were received to hand over all remaining targets to Smoke Company No. 846 and move them to an area a few miles north of Osnabrück. The platoons traveled independently and D Company eventually settled at Quakenbruck.

When the two companies advanced to Cuxhaven and Wesermünde after Victory in Europe Day, they passed through the main concentration areas of the surrendered German Wehrmacht. It was quite fantastic to see German and British vehicles moving side by side on the same roads, Germans going into quarters and even Germans manning guns. The general plan was that the Germans would disarm themselves and this they did, as far as can be seen, with their usual thoroughness.

Es wurde klar, dass sich die Tour der B- und D-Kompanien unter der Zweiten Britischen Armee ihrem Ende näherte und dass sie bald zum Bataillon zurückkehren würden. An dem Tag, an dem die D-Kompanie befohlen wurde, Ziele zu übergeben, die sie in Cuxhaven bewachte, wurde der B-Kompanie befohlen, Ziele in Bremerhaven an die Amerikaner zu übergeben. Innerhalb von fünf Tagen hatten die beiden Kompanien die Übergabe abgeschlossen und konzentrierten sich auf das Gebiet von Quakenbruck, wo sie blieben, bis der Befehl zur Verlegung der T Force zur Abdeckung des Distriktgebiets des I Corps erteilt wurde.
