This Week in History - VE Day (8 May)

https://ospreypublishing.com/thisweekhistory/










8 May 1945 is one of the most famous dates in modern history. It is Victory in Europe Day, the day that the Germans finally surrendered to the Allies, on both the Western and Eastern Fronts, and the war in Europe finally ended. World War II, however, was far from over, and fighting in the Pacific continued until the Japanese officially surrendered on 2 September 1945, following the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki

The road to VE day

The key event that made possible the end of the northwest Europe campaign – and the entire Second World War in Europe – occurred at 3.30 pm on 30 April 1945. At that moment, the German Führer, Adolf Hitler, committed suicide in the Reichschancellory Bunker in Berlin, as above ground triumphant Soviet forces advanced to within 330yds/300m of this installation. Back on 22 April, as Soviet spearheads began to encircle the German capital, Hitler had abandoned his notion of escaping to lead Germany’s war from Berchtesgaden in Bavaria, and instead decided to remain in Berlin to meet his fate.

День Ганьби


Передмова

Перш за все хочу сказати, що я цілком усвідомлюю, що я ніхто, "офісний хом'ячок", автор блоґа, якого ніхто не читає. Я не можу козиряти якимось авторитетом, знаністю чи ще чимось. Я просто людина, що спостерігає за історичними подіями за вікном. Але навіть у такої людини є думки з приводу цих подій. Ось в мене вони такі. Непричесані й пафосні, але які є. Інші пишуть краще. Просто мені читане вже стало в горлі

а тепер мова. Многабукаф
