Mauthausen survivors cheer the soldiers of the Second
Armored Division of the U.S. Third Army one day after their
actual liberation. The banner reads: "The Spanish
Anti-Fascists Salute the Liberating Forces." According to
P. Serge Choumoff, an historian and survivor of Mauthausen, this
event was recreated at the request of General Eisenhower.
