I find it interesting that three of these are VE and the only true one is VJ.
Honestly I’m curious how many Americans understand that VE was well before VJ and occurred when the soviets had shelled Berlin and were in the process of taking it, so the newly appointed leader of nazi high command reached out to the western front to surrender.

What does VE and VJ mean?
Victory Europe and Victory Japan, the two fronts of the war (from America’s perspective)
Thanks 👍
As someone with a military history obsessed father, it would be a crime if I didn’t at least passively absorb this fact.
That’s pretty common knowledge, as far as I’m aware (at the very least, that VE was well before VJ).
Well the 90’s kids probably all know, the history channel we had growing up was pretty much just world war 2 documentaries.
