GROSSBRITANNIEN ZWEITER WELTKRIEG KRIEGSENDE 1945
The streets of London were packed with excited and happy people on VE-Day, 8th May 1945, and when the Prime Minister left No. 10 Downing Street on his way to the House of Commons he was immediately enveloped in a vast crowd which had been waiting in Whitehall to pay tribute to their great national leader. So huge was the throng that the police found considerable difficulty in escorting him as he laughed and waved. Twice that day he spoke to the people from the balcony of the Ministry of Health. "God bless you all," he said to them. "This is your victory. It is the victory of the cause of freedom in every land. In all our long history we have never seen a greater day than this."
