During the night of 9 May 1945, General Keitel, then-head of the German Wehrmacht, signed the capitulation agreement with officials of the Red Army in Berlin. For that reason, 9 May also marks victory day in Russia to this day.
A ceremony will be held at the Monument of Remembrance, also known as the ‘Golden Lady’, at lunchtime on Monday. Prime Minister Xavier Bettel will be present at the event.
