It's a bit earlier than 1945
Weel actually my first thought was the Armistice, 1918, which was signed in a railway carriage in France. But then I thought - they didn't have colour film then... or did they?
Damn... 1892 Frederick Ives develops his Kromskop system which is the world's first complete system for natural color photography.

I'll say. You were along the right lines. It's an Autochrome colour photo (system invented by the Lumiere brothers), this photo was taken in 1915.
