Quiet V E Day Anniversary in Reims Observed
On the first V E Day anniversary in Reims, crowds gathered at the surrender room of the little red schoolhouse now a French shrine. The room preserves the surrender moment with maps, a top secret daily summary, and the signed instrument of surrender. Lt Gen Bedell Smith and Gen Gustav Jodl led the ceremony with other Allied and Russian and French representatives. Outside, activity has faded from wartime bustle to quiet streets as 4 000 000 men moved through the area previously, now closed camps. About 60 000 German POWs remain in the Reims region, sparking French discontent over their handling and duties.
