Major David Currie of the Canadian, South Alberta Regiment overseeing the surrender of German troops at St Lambert-sur-Dives,France.Major Currie is with his pistol drawn to the left.
Major Currie was awarded the Victoria Cross for his actions in command of a battle group of tanks from The South Alberta Regiment, artillery, and infantry of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada at St. Lambert-sur-Dives, during the final actions to close the Falaise Gap. This was the only Victoria Cross awarded to a Canadian soldier during the Normandy campaign (6 June 1944 through to the end of August 1944), and the only VC ever awarded to a member of the Royal Canadian Armoured Corps.
The then 32 year-old Currie was a Major in The South Alberta Regiment, Canadian Army during the Second World War. During the Battle of Falaise, Normandy, between 18 August - 20 August 1944, Currie was in command of a small mixed force of tanks, self-propelled anti-tank guns and infantry which had been ordered to cut off one of the Germans' main escape routes.
After Currie led the attack on the village of St. Lambert-sur-Dives and consolidated a position halfway inside it, he repulsed repeated enemy attacks over the next day and a half. Despite heavy casualties, Major Currie destroyed seven enemy tanks, twelve 88 mm guns and 40 vehicles, which led to the deaths of 300 German soldiers, 500 wounded and 2,100 captured. The remnants of two German armies were denied an escape route.

This is the 1945 Japanese signed surrender document, of Sept 1945. It is also signed by the USA, China, UK, USSR, Australia, Canada, France, the Netherlands and New Zealand.

Sorry for the trite Wizard of Oz reference, but this shot reminds me of the Wicked Witch's Castle from that movie...alhtough I'm sure the Winkie Guards didn't drink sprite on the job.
Anyway, this is a shot of the top observation deck at the Top of the Rock, Rockefeller Center, Manhattan, NYC.
One of the fantastic things about Top of the Rock is that the uppermost observation deck is completely open, giving unobstructed views north and south (there's glass on the east side, and part of the building obstructs the view to the west). The level below, from which this picture was taken, has wonderful views in all four directions albeit through thick panes of glass.

"White Flag" by Dido
I know you think that I shouldn't still love you,
Or tell you that.
But if I didn't say it, well I'd still have felt it
where's the sense in that?
I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
Or return to where we were
I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
I know I left too much mess and
destruction to come back again
And I caused nothing but trouble
I understand if you can't talk to me again
And if you live by the rules of "it's over"
then I'm sure that that makes sense
I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
And when we meet
Which I'm sure we will
All that was there
Will be there still
I'll let it pass
And hold my tongue
And you will think
That I've moved on....
I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
This French girl apparently gave up largely because she had a comfortable pile of leaves upon which to do so. Like the entire nation of France, it conveniently only takes one boy with a toy pistol to secure her surrender.
