Victory In Europe Day marks 75 years since the unconditional surrender of the Nazis. Despite huge plans for public celebration, no one knew we would be on lockdown during pandemic at this time. Here are some ways you can celebrate the end of war in Europe after three quarters of a century ago.
2,194 days passed between the official start and end of World War II. And yet it only took 18 minutes for representatives of Japan, the US, China, the UK, the USSR, Australia, Canada, France, the Netherlands and New Zealand to sign the Instrument of Surrender on 2nd September 1945. By that point an estimated 70-85 million people had perished.
