EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the jubilant moment when two young Belgian boys, dressed as British soldiers, join in the festivities with the elated crowd in Brussels during the celebrations marking the end of World War II in Europe. The date was May 7, 1945, and the news of the unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany had just been announced. The scene is one of pure joy and relief, as the Belgian people, who had suffered through five long years of occupation, finally began to celebrate their liberation. Flags were hung out of nearly every window, paper hats and flags of the United Nations were sold in the streets, and crowds gathered to sing and dance in the streets. The two boys, dressed in authentic British military uniforms, are a testament to the deep affection and admiration the Belgian people held for the Allied forces who had liberated them. Their costumes, while likely acquired through creative means, symbolize the strong bond that had formed between the Belgian population and the British soldiers who had fought to free them from the grip of the Nazi regime. This historical photograph is a poignant reminder of the enduring spirit of the human spirit in the face of adversity, and the power of unity and resilience in the face of war. It is a moment frozen in time, a moment of triumph and joy, a moment that represents the end of one chapter and the beginning of another.
