The Day the War Ended

The Day the War Ended by Martin Gilbert, Harper Collins, 1995

The story of May 8, 1945, the day the Germans surrendered and the Second World War in Europe came to an end, is recounted through archival documentation woven together with the diary entries and letters of soldiers, sailors, and airmen, combatants and civilians, young and old, prisoners of war and resistance fighters, the liberators, the liberated, and the defeated describing where they were on that day. A moment-to-moment account of that day along with the day’s events that led to changes in the post-war landscape that were to affect the rest of the century.
