Sjoerd de Vrij, reporter for Radio Herrijzend Nederland

On May 5, 1945, Canadian General Foulkes and German General Blaskowitz meet at the damaged Hotel De Wereld in Wageningen, where the details of the German surrender are worked out. In photos, you see officers, but also journalists and photographers. One of them is Sjoerd de Vrij. Who is this man who, after the meeting, drives back to an Eindhoven radio studio in his rickety jeep?
