British soldiers in conversation with Wehrmacht soldiers with horses in Sønderbrogade in Vejle after the German Capitulation, 1945. One of the German soldiers still has a rifle over his shoulder. To the left, a Danish freedom fighter with armbands is also armed. The German soldiers gathered at the social security office to register as unemployed. The British army was handling the registration and the freedom fighter went to pickup the permit for his B&B appartment. War just ended and all parties are already acting in a civilised manner. The germans were only disarmed when crossing the border to Germany, in most cases. Due to luck of manpower and a clear process. Very unique photo; even though several combatants are armed, they just all want to see the killing stopped and return home!Source :
