EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment during World War II - the surrender of Palermo. Major General Guiseppe Molinero, having surrendered the city of Palermo in Sicily, embarked on a journey to meet Major General Geoffrey Keyes, the US Corps Commander. Together, they made their way to the Royal Palace for the formal handover ceremony to the Americans. The following day marked an extraordinary sight as the American flag was raised over Palermo and troops paraded through its streets. The photograph showcases this jubilant scene with amphibious jeeps rolling into town while masses of cheering Sicilians eagerly welcome their liberators.
