What Was it Like To Celebrate VE Day In 1945? | VE Day: Minute by Minute | War Stories

[@chrisvickers7928]

My dad, on a Canadian naval base in Scotland, wrote my mother a letter on VE Day. One of my sisters has the letter to this day and published it on her website. It shows dad's sense of humour was still intact.

I love Tony Robinson. He does Time Team. His style reflects his comedic past.

[@leddielive]

Not that long ago & yet a world away from how we live today, people need to be reminded of how dreadful war actually is, & hopefully pray we avoid getting ourselves in such a mess ever again.

It was a while ago lol. WW2 was closer to the American Civil War than current day.

It was an amazing, remembering video about V day. Thank you ( war stories) channel 🙏 and (history Hit ) network page..it was most wonderful moments for victory sides populations in Europe. But it was super bleak moments for Germany 🇩🇪 and half Italian peoples ..by all means...civilians, defeated soldiers treated beastly by all means in cities, villages, and landscaped..most inhumanitarian outcome of V day..was cold War breeding. Which transported WW2 brutalities to ward's third world countries ,especially 🤔 MiddleEast and African countries ..as competition platform & conforting bases of two super powers ( USA 🇺🇸 and USSR)

[@ArianeQube]

So it was also great for the Eastern half of Europe, stuck under 50 years of genocidal soviet communism? 😂

[@jacksonj3082]

Of course it was a happy occasion, but I wonder how people felt about the Germans - their population elected, enabled, and followed a murderous leader with many in the military carrying out murder and torture to millions. The German military prisoners were treated better by the Western nations than their own country, and surely better than the Soviets. Yes, I’m sure the Allies were tired to fighting, but I personally do not feel the Nazis ever paid the price for the calamitous and murderous years they gave to European, American, and Canadian soldiers and citizens.

I keep waiting for that giant spotlight to turn on and blind him... lol

[@lkrnpk]

Did Baldrick learn why the war started? I hear he said it started because an Austrian painter hit the lair of a Russian bear called Adolf because of him having superior rice

[@TheMsAlexthesinger]

It wasn’t the same celebrations for Europeans on the East. From one occupation to another.
