It’s May 8th, 1945. Nazi Germany has just surrendered, ending nearly six dark years in Europe. VE-Day celebrations erupt amid the citizenry of war-torn nations. But in the Pacific, the troops’ reaction is muted. Europe may as well be the moon. American troops on Okinawa are in the midst of one of the bloodiest battles of the entire war. Japan shows no sign of surrender. It will be exactly 100 more days to VJ-Day, and it will include some of the most tumultuous and significant days of the 20th Century. When the end finally comes, VJ Day finishes the party that VE Day started. The world is at peace – and profoundly different. The century pivots at this moment. These handful of days will create the path for the world to follow for the next 75 years -- and counting.
By January 1945, it’s apparent Nazi Germany will be defeated. But instead of winding down, the war enters its bloodiest, most chaotic phase. As allies close in, everything accelerates. Rare colour footage reveals the horrors of POWs, the utter destruction of entire cities, and the close-up faces of citizens caught in a war. Historians help us dissect key moments, and first person recollections paint pictures that sear the experience into memory. When the fighting climaxes at the epicenter of the Third Reich, the walls close in around Hitler. His suicide triggers a chaotic transfer of power, culminating in a clumsy surrender. The world exhales on May 8 - Victory in Europe Day. Soldiers and citizens take this one day to live out that first day of freedom from tyranny. Everyone remembers where they were and what they did. 75 years later, we give those stories new life.
