Europe Commemorates 80th Anniversary of WWII End

ai generated text

Eighty years ago, the Allies accepted Nazi Germany's unconditional surrender, marking the end of World War II in Europe on what became known as Victory in Europe Day. This event was commemorated with solemn ceremonies and moments of silence across Europe.

  1. DE
    Julia Klöckner
    Bundestag
    1. Tomorrow we will see the victory parades in Moscow in the name of liberators from back, supposedly justifying a war against Ukraine today.
    2. What an abuse of history! Bucha, Irpin, Mariupol. And again girls and women fall victim to sexual violence, used as a weapon of war.
  2. DE
    Johann Wadephul
    Christian Democratic Union
    1. The historic responsibility for this betrayal of civilization and the memory of the millions of victims of the Second World War unleashed by Nazi Germany make it our responsibility to resolutely defend peace and freedom in Europe today.
  3. DE
    Frank-Walter Steinmeier
    Social Democratic Party
    1. It was Germans that unleashed this criminal war and dragged Europe with it into the abyss.
  4. GB
    Alex Cole-Hamilton
    1. We cannot be complacent in the face of growing threats of fascism, international violence, hatred and oppression.
  5. GB
    Keir Starmer
    Labour Party
    1. But for good against the assembled forces of hatred, tyranny and evil.
    2. The courage of that lion-hearted generation. The greatest victory in the history of this great nation. A victory not just for Britain.
  6. DE
    Katja Hoyer
    1. This concept also exonerates ordinary Germans to a degree, because the concept of liberation implies they were held captive by their own Nazi regime and then were liberated by it — rather than having supported it in the first place.
  7. GB
    Timothy Garton Ash
    1. Europeans feel we can no longer rely on the U.S. security umbrella on which we've relied for most of this 80 years.
    2. The war in Ukraine is by far the largest war in Europe since 1945. We have also discovered that countries like China and India and Turkey and other great middle powers are quite happy to go on doing business with Russia even while it's waging this war.
