On May 5, Dutch people celebrate the liberation from the German occupation between 1940 and 1945.
The nation was liberated mostly by Canadian troops. On May 5 - 1945 the Canadian General Charles Foulkes and the German Commander-in-Chief Johannes Blaskowitz reached an oral agreement on the capitulation of Germany in Hotel De Wereld in Wageningen. One day later, the capitulation document was signed in the auditorium of the Agricultural University located next to the hotel.
