The Allied Armies’ World War II victory over Nazi Germany occurred on May 7, 1945, when the German Instrument of Surrender was signed in Reims, France. This victory was celebrated as VE Day (a.k.a. V Day and V-E Day) throughout Europe and the U.S. on the following day: May 8, 1945.<\/p>\n

BBC: VE Day

“After the suicide of Hitler on 30 April 1945, it was left to Grand Admiral Donitz, who had been President of the Third Reich for a week, to surrender. Donitz travelled to General Eisenhower’s HQ at Reims in France, and, in the presence of senior officers from Britain, America, Russia and France, surrendered unconditionally to the Western and Russian demands on 7 May 1945.” For more WWII history, be sure to peruse Related Links in the right-hand sidebar.<\/p>\n

BBC: Victory in Europe Day

This article by historian Dr. Gary Sheffield highlights reactions to victory in Europe from around the world. “For the Western Allies, of course, the conflict in Europe was only one half of the world war. At that stage, the atomic bomb was a secret known to a very few, and the end of the war with Japan seemed a very long way off.”<\/p>\n

HistoryNet: V-E Day 1945

Learn what VE Day meant for people all around the world. “In Cape Town [South Africa] the thousands of celebrants brought traffic to a near-standstill. The Cape Times of the following day wrote, ‘The gnawing, ceaseless anxiety in many homes for loved ones in danger has vanished like an evil dream.’ South Africa was home to many people of German descent, however, and in 1940 the decision to fight as part of the British force against Germany and Italy was not popular with those who supported Hitler’s policies.”<\/p>\n
