VE Day 2015
Among all the election fever I think we all forgot that today marked a very special date in the calender. Its now exactly 70 years since Germany surrendered unconditionally and brought an end to mass murder and the Nazis and a new beginning now on the horizon with allied forces now assuming full control over Germany with Berlin split into 3 sections with the British, Americans and Russians now in force which ofcourse marked the start of the cold war and the inevitable wall that would soon divide the city.
I salute all the soldiers who protected our democracy and one can only speculate just how differently the world would have panned out if we hadn't secured victory on all fronts.
