 When the German high command surrendered, Wilmot was present to report on it.After the end of the war Wilmot remained in England, where he wrote articles on the recent war as well as a book about World War II, "The Struggle for Europe".When it appeared in 1952, the book was favourably reviewed, and it is well regarded by military historians (John Keegan wrote, "Wilmot effectively invented the modern method of writing contemporary military history").
