Canadian troops entering Amsterdam, 8 May 1945. Here's a T16 Universal Carrier at the Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal street. Many exuberant civilians are hitching a ride.
For that "Then & Now" effect, I added a Google screenshot view of the same spot today: Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal nr. 162. Source: https://archief.amsterdam/beeldbank/...3-8e49c84eb9ae
