Sixty years ago in 1945, the unconditional surrender of the German army
was signed in General Dwight Eisenhower's headquarters at Reims on May
7 and ratified at Berlin on Tuesday, May 8.
I think King George said it best:
"Let us remember those who will not come back: their
constancy and courage in battle, their sacrifice and endurance in the
face of a merciless enemy; let us remember the men in all the services,
and the women in all the services, who have laid down their lives. We
have come to the end of our tribulation and they are not with us at the
moment of our rejoicing."
--King George VI - May 8, 1945
