André Rieu was born Maastricht in the Netherlands. I would say that he is Dutch.

E-Mail me for pictures. both iron plaques have paper applied to the back stating in essence, top the US Army for liberating maastricht... joe_melissa1@sbcglobal.net
On 14 Sep 1944 Maastricht was the first city in the Netherlands to be liberated by the Allies. So Maastricht Free Again (from the occupying forces of Germany) or Maastricht liberated is about right. These commemorative souvenir plates, with various designs, were made in thousands. The discussion page has anecdotal supporting evidence.

the European single currency since the southern Dutch city of Maastricht gave birth to the euro in the 1992 treaty that bears its name.
Late 1944-May 1945.Note that at the time most Germans did not see this as liberation but as conquest. Even the Allies did not start claiming that they had liberated Germany till a few months later. VE Day is not celebrated at a national level in Germany. However, some towns and cities celebrate it.
