A day of celebration for all civilized people.
World War 2 actually did not end until 2nd September 1945, when the Japanese forces accepted the unconditional surrender imposed by the Allied forces.
One minute past midnight on the 8th day of May 1945, however, is the official end of the European section of this devastating war, which cost an estimated 65 Million lives.
On the orders of then "Reich President" Karl Dönitz, General Jodl and General Keitel signed this Surrender Document with the USA and Russia respectively.
Pages upon pages, books without number have been written about this day in the history of mankind.
Let me just add these few lines in urging moments of contemplation of what can happen when an entire people allows itself to be dominated by a group of insane killers.

sees it that way.
