Victory in Europe Day

Victory in Europe Day, generally known as V-E Day, VE Day or simply V Day was the public holiday celebrated on 8 May 1945 (7 May in Commonwealth realms) to mark the formal acceptance by the Allies of World War II of Nazi Germany's unconditional surrender of its armed forces. It thus marked the end of World War II in Europe.

On 30 April, Adolf Hitler, the Nazi leader, committed suicide during the Battle of Berlin. Germany's surrender, therefore, was authorised by his successor, Reichspräsident Karl Dönitz. The administration headed by Dönitz was known as the Flensburg Government. The act of military surrender was signed on 7 May in Reims, France and on 8 May in Berlin, Germany.

Celebrations

Upon the defeat of Germany, celebrations erupted throughout the world. From Moscow to Los Angeles, people celebrated. In the United Kingdom, more than one million people celebrated in the streets to mark the end of the European part of the war. In London, crowds massed in Trafalgar Square and up the Mall to Buckingham Palace, where King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, accompanied by Prime Minister Winston Churchill, appeared on the balcony of the palace before the cheering crowds. Princess Elizabeth (the future Queen Elizabeth II) and her sister Princess Margaret were allowed to wander incognito among the crowds and take part in the celebrations.

    V-Day

    by: Wildhearts

    gift given time, gift given time open to changes in bearing
    press covered lies, press covered hearsay, conjecture as detail
    set image plan, set image plan owing to rank in the scene
    CHORUS:
    well I'll try, I guess, I'll never be affected like a bigshot
    I'll never get the money that they got, and I'll be smiling much longer
    and I'll try to see the one last theory on starlust, I'll dine on water and pie-crust
    I'll make some sense if it kills me, and I'll be smiling on (V-Day)
    tight little line, keep weak and smile, you could be part of the dream, boys
    ten second span, ten second stay, rope in and wheel out around you
    forgotten pride, stuck making a meal out of a smile and a hairstyle
    CHORUS
    gift given time, victory is mine, merit and worth, keeping still, keeping strong
    covered past, sowing rage, deaden pain, give a shit, zero one, breakdown, flatline
    CHORUS
    and I'll be smiling on V-Day (x3)
