This image is amongst the most famous in Norway from the liberation. It's been published many, many times, even my wife's grandfather had a copy of this hanging up in his outside toilet on their farm.

The caption says 'Homefront forces take over Akershus fortress, 11 May 45'

Thank you Simon for your input, have you seen the fortress yourself?

Many times, until december my office was about 300 meters away from it. Today the area includes several museums like the defence museum and resistance museum.
