Fighting on the western front ceased with the signing of this document on 7 May 1945, in Reims. The official document was signed again in Berlin, with Stalin's insistence and Eisenhower's presence.
The building. It remains a school, but the signing rooms are a museum.
The room and the table and chairs
The maps they used - all paper and thumb-tacks. Oh for a spreadsheet!
