German officers during the Dutch surrender talks

A German officer with his cap laid on the table sits facing a man in a dark uniform, whose back is turned, and a man in a light coat; through an open casement window, several German officers in field uniform lean over a table covered with maps and papers. According to the source the scene belongs to the Dutch surrender. After the bombing of Rotterdam on 14 May 1940 the Dutch commander-in-chief, General Henri Winkelman, ordered his troops to lay down their arms; the capitulation was signed at Rijsoord on 15 May.
