Popular Post Vladislav Posted May 9, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted May 9, 2015 70 years back, late in the evening on 8 May 1945 Nazy Germany signed up of the surrender document wich marked the capitulation.It cost millions of lives of people of different nations wich we should never forget.The Soviet government announced the victory early on 9 May because the official capitulation was after midnight by Moscow time. So here in Russia we have 9th as the selebration date. 7 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39957-victory-day-the-end-of-the-war-in-europe/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Vladislav Posted May 9, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 9, 2015 During all my lifetime this date was one of the greatest holidays overhere.Nowadays I would say, the greatest one, since the Revolution annyversary day went off with the end of the USSR.There was a big military parade in the city with fireworks in the evening.I watched the parade on TV though, too difficult to get yourself there because of lots of officials.For that reason I had to switch my TV set on for the first time since about couple of years. 5 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39957-victory-day-the-end-of-the-war-in-europe/#findComment-289307 Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryS Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Vlad, Thanks for posting this reminder of our not too distant past. I remember visiting the Russian War Memorial Gardens in East Berlin in 1963. If memory servers me there were over 12,000 Russian soldiers from WW II buried there in a mass grave. Very moving sight. Also I went to the WW II war plane fly over in Washington yesterday. There were about 50 planes of various descriptions flying in formation over DC. The sight and sound of those planes was awesome! 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39957-victory-day-the-end-of-the-war-in-europe/#findComment-289379 Share on other sites More sharing options...
