Description
President Harry S. Truman and others salute the flag (Flag of Liberation)in Berlin, Germany, where he will speak at flag raising ceremonies. The flag which flew over the Capitol in Washington, D.C., when America entered the war will be hoisted over the headquarters of the U.S. Group Control Council, the former headquarters of the Luftwaffe. The same flag was raised in Rome and is destined to fly over Tokyo. On Truman's right are Generals Patton and Eisenhower. (See also 2007-277 and 66-3441.) President Truman is in Germany for the Potsdam Conference. From: Solomon Bogard.
