The Nazis unconditionally surrendered 75 years ago today. One horror show was ending, another would be done in a few months and then the Cold War, which almost bankrupted the West if the Soviets weren’t so bad at Math.
It’s a bummer this couldn’t be celebrated with the US having a better POTUS and the world being shuttered for the virus he failed to take proper action on. The other disappointment is how the Nazis/Fascists are making a comeback in the West despite all the horrible things the Allies captured and documented about them. One recent study claims that nations most affected by the 1918 Influenza Pandemic were the places where Fascism took root, paving the road to WWII.
Well, let’s still reflect on the Allied victory over Hitler and his thugs. Be grateful the best side won the devastating conflict.
