Great picture
Nice pic Mark, thanks. Now this is, as you said, facing the same building. The Hotel is inmediately left of the staff car behind the Kübel, just out of this picture.
As you mentioned it was taken on May 5, the first day of negotiations. There is some interesting film footage from this day, and judging by the quality of the picture, this might just as well heve been taken from it.
The actual agreement was not signed till May 8 by the way, and it took place in the "Aula", another building also across the street from the town hall, but on the righthand side of the hotel.
Because official negotiations started on May 5 in Hotel de Wereld, this is our official liberation day.
Cheers,
Martin.
