London, May 15.
German mechanized troops swept into the Hague today and occupied the entire city, Radio Holland announced. The Dutch defenders surrendered their arms following the German occupation.
At 11.15 am. today Radio Holland announced that quiet reigned in The Hague. Although the remaining inhabitants of the city kept in their homes and gave the Nazi forces a cool reception, newspapers again resumed publication and life appeared more or less normal today after the nerve-racking atmosphere of the past five days.
Air defence services in The Hague were demobilized today and telephone communications were gradually restored, Radio Holland disclosed.
