The Day The War Ended
The lights come on, church bells ring, couples embrace, the bereaved mourn their loved ones. It's May 8, 1945, the last day of a war that has lasted five years & eight months. German forces have already capitulated, & at 30 minutes before midnight, the German High Command signs the final instrument of surrender. The world rejoices & asks, "What now?" Here are the stories of that wonderful, long-awaited day, a half century ago: the stories of the front-line troops & civilians; of the statesmen & the war criminals, the victors & the vanquished. It is VE Day, & although Japan fights on, May 8, 1945 marks the start of a new era for all nations
