On May 8, 1945, delegations from the victorious powers and the German Wehrmacht landed at Tempelhof Airport to sign the unconditional surrender. Their journey took them through war-torn Berlin to the Karlshorst district in the east of the city. There, in the Soviet headquarters – a former Wehrmacht officers' mess – the signing ceremony took place.
