<By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyrioht.) Eec;i.3op.m. LONDON, May 2. The streets of Munich presented an amazing Spectacle today. They were thronged with Bavarians who were \ trying to be friendly—the menfolk passing bottles of wine to Ameri- '< can troops, and the girls trying to start I conversations with the soldiers, says ! a "Daily Mail" correspondent.
One hundred thousand foreign •workers and-3000 British prisoners of . war. mingled with the Bavarians. A ! large crowd gathered around Hitler's ■ beer, cellar, where the Germans were anxious to act as guides for all the • Allied troops and show them the huge wine "casks where wine for the^ Nazi leaders matured.
Someone toured the city with buckets of tar obliterating Nazi signs on walls .and hoardings. American soldiers who were detailed to guard the notorious Brown House and the former Gestapo headquarters could not find them under the bomb ruins, so they mounted guard over a pile of rubble.
