00:00279,000 children still in London.
00:05Whilst I'm sure they're not all here, quite a number are.
00:09Down here on the platforms of the famous Piccadilly Tube in the heart of London's West End.
00:15It's one of the saddest results of the war that women, children and men have to be here at all.
00:22Many are bombed out of their homes.
00:25All look tired, but they feel safe here, a good hundred feet below ground,
00:31and their spirit and fortitude are simply grand.
00:38Here they come, first Her Majesty the Queen, it comes into view, then the King,
00:42in the uniform of the Admiral of the Fleet, the two princesses standing on the balcony listen to the crowd.
00:55Chick-fil-A
01:02Sing, sing, sing, sing. Everybody start to sing. Ooh, wowoo. And now you're singing with a swing.
01:10Sing, sing, sing, sing. Everybody start to sing. Ooh, wowoo. And now you're singing with a swing.
01:16Now you're singing with a swing
01:18When the music goes around
01:20A very great crowd is collected already
01:23Thousands upon thousands of people
01:24Gathered to share this historic day
01:26With the king and queen
01:27It's one dense mass of people
01:30People in the gayest colours
01:32Red, white and blue rosettes
01:33Red, white and blue hats
01:35Streamers, flags
01:37Listen to the trumpet swing
01:39Blow, blow, blow, blow
01:45Listen to the trombones go
01:47This is the BBC Home Service
01:52Come on, coming at the mouth
02:00Wave your flag
02:01Tell the band to strike up
02:03Which song, boss?
02:04A victory song
02:05Dedicated to the man who's won the war
02:07Now start the procession
02:08We're glad we walked behind
02:12The man who smoked the beat cigar
02:14We'd follow the man
02:18Whose master plan
02:19Has carried us through the war
02:21One sniff of the old Havana
02:27We'd follow him right to Puget
02:31But we're glad we walked behind
02:33The man who smoked the beat cigar
02:35Japan, with all her treachery and greed
02:45Remains unsubdued
02:47The injuries she has inflicted upon Great Britain
02:52The United States and other countries
02:54And her detestable cruelties
02:57Call for justice and retribution
03:01We may allow ourselves
03:04A brief period of rejoicing
03:08Today and tomorrow Wednesday
03:11And victory in Europe day
03:14I went up there
03:15To see the VA there
03:18To the King and Queen
03:20Thousands of people
03:21Dancing and singing
03:22Oh, they're wonderful
03:24I didn't see the King and Queen of course
03:27But there's too many people
03:29But there
03:29It was a lovely day that was
03:31That was really nice
03:33That was
03:33Really knees up that was
03:36I mean
03:40There were streamers all over the place
03:43And we all had hats on
03:45At Woolworths, you know
03:47At this moment
03:49How wonderful Mr Churchill
03:51Has come out
03:51Under the Ministry of Health balcony
03:53This is
03:58Your victory
04:00Victory
04:03Of the cause
04:06Of freedom
04:07In every day
04:09In all our long history
04:15We have never seen
04:18A greater day than this
04:20They did come out on the balcony
04:28With Churchill
04:29Tremendous roar went up
04:31Flossal roars
04:32Seem to last a long time
04:33Now listen
04:34And the band is playing
04:35Land of Hope and Glory
04:36And the crowd is singing
04:38And this suddenly
04:40Has become a very moving moment
04:42For Mr Churchill too is singing
04:43And he is conducting
04:44The singing of this song
04:46Will you listen please?
04:49The great thing was to
04:50Not to recognize
04:52We were all dressed down
04:53And
04:54Everybody was in uniform
04:56Anybody who wasn't in uniform
04:59Looked out of place
05:00I was out
05:01I wasn't allowed to join the army
05:03Because I was too young
05:04And um
05:06Services I should say
05:08And so I was rather
05:09Sort of
05:10Kept at the back
05:11Sixth long year
05:15And all embracing jubilation
05:17Rings out
05:18In the victory
05:19Peel of Bronson Paul
05:20As I say
05:23Everything was so
05:24Short
05:25You know
05:26Everything was
05:27Loud
05:29And black
05:30And
05:31Bloomy
05:33That's why of course
05:35The
05:35This
05:36V day
05:37Was a wonderful
05:38Sort of
05:39You know
05:40Sunburst
05:41Of
05:41Glory
05:42I went
05:45With a group
05:47Of other young people
05:48Up to
05:50Trafalgar Square
05:52Square
05:52On the train
05:54Trafalgar Square
05:55To see the celebrations
05:57Then
05:57Which were
05:58Very
05:58Spectacular
06:00My memory
06:01Mostly
06:02Is about
06:02How many people
06:03There were
06:03And the pushing
06:04And shoving
06:05And how you
06:05Couldn't get
06:06To see all the
06:07Things you would
06:08Like to have seen
06:09And how
06:09Packed
06:10Trafalgar Square
06:12Was
06:12But it was
06:14An exciting time
06:16But at this hour
06:18When the dreadful
06:20Shadow of war
06:21Has passed
06:22Far from our
06:23Carves
06:24And homes
06:26In these islands
06:27We may at last
06:28Make one pause
06:30For thanksgiving
06:31And then
06:32Turn our thoughts
06:33To the task
06:34All over the world
06:36Which peace
06:37In Europe
06:38Brings with us
06:39We must all sing together
06:41Birds of feather
06:43And the crowds
06:44Will soon
06:46Roll by
06:46The Queen and I know
07:03The ordeals which you have endured throughout the commonwealth and empire
07:09We are proud and shared some of them with you
07:13And we know also that we shall all face the future together with stern resolve and prove that our reserves of willpower and vitality are inexhaustible
07:24There is great comfort in the thought of the years of darkness and danger in which the children of our country who have grown up are over
07:34All seem to happen just like building shelters I can't remember anybody organising it but it was going to just going to be a party and everybody brought out tresset tables or any old tables that they had all the women baked everybody brought what they could lemonade or I mean there was very little alcohol if any I mean alcohol was I think quite difficult to get hold of
08:04Although possibly there was and I might not have possibly known about it but otherwise it was just great big tables full of food and balloons and paper hats anything you could get
08:12And things that people made their own decorations and we just had a marvellous time and then somebody dragged a piano out and played because they did nearly everybody parlours had pianos then and people could play and everybody danced and it was glorious it was gorgeous
08:27And the world gets back some whole sense what a day for celebration that will be
08:34When somebody shouts the fights up and it's time to put the lights up then the first thing to be lit up will be me
08:44I'm going to get lit up when the lights go up in London
08:49Well I remember being at home not having to go I'd left school and I was then at Business College at Mountains and I was then at Business College at Mountains and I was then at Business College at Mountain
09:18And as far as far as I remember everybody was at home and they got in the streets and they were sort of shouting and cheering and waving flags about and some of them were very sad they'd lost husbands and boyfriends and all the rest of it but personally I think as I said it was very sad
09:46I think as a 17 year old I was just happy the war was over and we could do as we pleased more or less pretty short of food but we looked forward to having good meals and going to the shop and buying things clothes and everything which we couldn't buy then everything was on coupons
10:12Me as a 12 year old
10:14Me as a 12 year old asking my grandfather about various things to do with the e-day so his plan was that they would have a party for the locals in a barn ordinary barn he did describe it as a very happy event although he said I caught myself looking up several times and catching my wife's eye my grandmother who was Penelope he used to call her
10:40He said I remember looking up at Nellop and she was definitely muted she was quiet and this reflected the fact that their eldest son my uncle David was still out in Malay and of course this is true of many many families on V-Day they had the joy of celebrating mixed with a lot of in some cases anxiety and of course a lot of overt sadness
11:08And he writes here that of the people who came many were able to walk to their houses within minutes one couple who had come had been had walked two and a half miles to get to us from a village small village outside the town and they walked the two and a half miles back later that afternoon
11:32And instead of getting back to enjoy their evening they found a telegram waiting for them can you imagine that Mr. and Mrs. Peters found a telegram informing them that their son Malcolm had been killed in an air crash the previous week and that telegram reached them on that very day and they didn't find out until that evening
11:59As far as we were concerned that was a new life
12:06As far as we were concerned that was a new life we had quite a few sort of churches and church related things round the old market place because the city hall wasn't built then and yes we had a lot of celebrations and we had a
12:26St. Peter Mancroft and all those rang all their bells what they still had because some of the churches the bells had been taken away and I suppose used in some way or other used the metal I think there was lots of boys that we knew who'd the end part of the war had been called up and because they were away they were
12:55They were in the Air Force and the Army and all sorts and the Navy because although the war ended and you thought good that's the end of rationing it wasn't there was still a shortage of food shortage of sweet things shortage of or difficult for you to do lots of things you couldn't you
13:24You went down to the coast you couldn't get down on the beach because there was all the
13:31Because there was all the wine netting and all the things to stop invasions and what not so you had to make the best of it and being youngsters we got on our bikes and went down to sea pooling and backed and that on our bikes but we had to sit on the other side of the
13:54We had to sit on the land side because there was I suppose the beaches were still mine
14:01I say to my missus I say we ought to win wars more often because I hadn't seen all salad cream since 1940 but bugger me he had bottles of the stuff on the table
14:12Our gratitude to all our splendid allies goes forth from all our hearts in this island and throughout the British Empire
14:29For this victory we join in offering our thanks to the providence which has guided and sustained us through the dark days of adversity
14:40Our rejoicing is sobered and subdued by a supreme consciousness of the terrible price we have paid to rid the world of Hitler and his evil band
14:53I think it was VE day and my mother and I went down to Newcastle into the city centre with the crowds and my mother sort of wanted to show me exactly what it was all about and everybody was very merry and cheerful
15:13Yes I remember that, that was on VE day
15:15Yes I remember that, that was on VE day
15:16Yes I remember that, that was on VE day
15:20The north, right from the east coast over to Liverpool in the northwest was an absolute industrial powerhouse during the war
15:42All the major centres had been brutally battered by the Luftwaffe and every community, every street had a long list of sons, husbands and loved ones who were never coming home
15:55Alongside all those civilians who had perished
15:59They partied hard when VE day came
16:02There was a massive emotional outpouring, especially from the factories who organised parties and celebrations
16:09This was tinged with anxiety about what lay ahead in the post-war economy
16:13But for now they were happy to eat, drink and celebrate
16:16I was at RAF Bosworth in Leicestershire
16:20We were all excited to know it was all over
16:22And it was arranged by somebody, I suppose it was a senior official
16:28That we would all enjoy ourselves in De Montfort Hall in Leicester
16:34And we did celebrate, you know, plenty of dancing, plenty of drink
16:39And we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves
16:41I would ask you all to remember those of our comrades who fell in the struggle
16:56They gave their lives that others might have freedom
17:10And no man can do more than that
17:12It took a couple of days to really sink in
17:15Because his senses were so tense
17:18You know, all you could hear were church bells
17:22Which were marvellous
17:25And when the news came through
17:28We looked at these things
17:30And my team, I had eight of them
17:33We said, well, there's only one place I think, John
17:37And that's the nearest pub
17:39So we went down to the nearest pub
17:41Celebrated all the work we'd done in the gun stores
17:44And thanks to the future
17:46And it was such a relief
17:48Some folks put much reliance on politics and science
18:16and science there's only one hero for me it's praise we should be roaring a man who thought
18:23of pouring the first boiling water onto tea i like a nice cup of tea in the morning
18:32for to start the day you see and at half past eleven well my idea of heaven is a nice
18:40cardiff during the second world war was a strategic center primarily for coal and steel
18:47and the germans targeted it with heavy bombing raids right up to 1944. vee day came and it was
18:53a huge relief people took to the streets all over there was a massive celebration in cardiff
18:59where 355 civilians had died at the height of the raids the welsh of course are famed for their
19:05sense of community and this was greatly evident as people came together in the streets
19:10and made merry with the little that they had there are tales of bakers working 24 hours to
19:15satisfy the demand for sandwich loaves with something of a blind eye being turned to rationing that day at
19:20when i've set the breakfast scene well my idea of scene is a fourth or a fifth cup of tea
19:27i like a nice cup of tea with me dinner and a nice cup of tea with me tea
19:34and when it's time for bed there's a lot to be said for a nice cup of tea
19:41to that then let us turn our thoughts on this day of just a triumph to proud sorrow and tomorrow take
19:49up our work again resolved as a people to do nothing unworthy of those who died first and to make the
19:57world such a world such a world such a world they would have desire for their children
20:02you see and at our party living
20:07at the present time it is of paramount importance that the women and girls of our country be given
20:14training so that they may do their share in the war emergency how this training is given and who does it
20:23is of great interest to us all fix your eyes on the horizons swing your ears about size up the day

29:31presence of lieutenant general carl spett air chief marshal sarafa tedder field marshal zhukov
29:40and general de tassinier there was some anxiety in many quarters today when 10 hours went by without
29:47any proclamation in moscow russia evidently waited for the official hour one minute past six tonight
29:54eastern wartime and russia evidently waited for the ratification in berlin
30:00in for the crowning hour of german humiliation unconditional surrender and the capital where
30:07the war was planned
30:10and they evidently waited for the final death rattle in dresden and prague where the fighting came to an
30:16end but a few hours ago and surrender became official one hour ago and now the guns are quiet everywhere in europe
30:24and the lights are on and the hearts of men and women are lifted in thanksgiving as millions say tonight

31:31News generally travels by wireless printing press and radio,
31:58and it moves lightning fast, and its impact is powerful and violent.
32:02But an older medium carried today's news.
32:05There was no impact of violence.
32:08It was a church bill.
32:10And the news it brought reached into human hearts.
32:14I've heard people say we've always had war and we shall always have more war,
32:19and there just isn't anything we can do about it.
32:22And today one saw the long lines of men and women
32:25filing into houses of worship for prayer and thanksgiving.
32:28And one realized again,
32:31nothing, nothing will ever lift human hearts as high
32:35as a bell tolling its message in one word, peace.
32:40One had to be there to see it all and feel it.
32:43One had to be near the mother who fell to her knees
32:45and raised the care-worn face to God
32:47and loud enough for all who were near to hear every word.
32:50heard her say,
32:52Oh, God, I've lost one boy.
32:55Bring my second back to me.
32:57Oh, God, I need him so.
33:00Thank you, Gabriel Heater.
33:02Gabriel Heater with up-to-the-minute news of the world
33:04was presented this evening by Forehand's Toothpaste.
33:07Ladies and gentlemen,
33:13this is one of the days we've been looking forward to for so long.
33:17This is one of the days for which men left their wives and children,
33:22their jobs and their professions,
33:23to put on uniforms and give their days and their lives
33:27to end tyranny and aggression, we hope, forever.
33:32But this is just one of the days.
33:34There's another day coming, and may it be soon,
33:37when we can celebrate complete victory.
33:40But to leave our jobs now and quit when the task is only half finished
33:43would be false to the wives and children our fighting men left behind.
33:48Perhaps you know that radio programs like this one
33:51are recorded and sent to our fighting forces everywhere overseas
33:54for their entertainment and to bring them a smile or two from home.
33:59This is our job.
34:01The thing we know best how to do.
34:04So let's all keep going, keep working,
34:06and keep faith with the ones who are still doing battle
34:09for the things we believe in.
34:12Good night.
34:12Good night, all.
34:13This is the National Broadcasting Company.
34:41The whole world must be cleansed of the evil.
34:51The power of our people to defend themselves against all enemies
34:55will be proved in the Pacific War as it has been proved in Europe.
35:00For the triumph of spirit and of arms which we have won and for its promise to the peoples everywhere
35:09who join us in the love of freedom,
35:12it is fitting that we as a nation give thanks to Almighty God
35:18who has strengthened us who has strengthened us and given us the victory.
35:22Now, therefore, I, Harry S. Truman, President of the United States of America,
35:30do hereby appoint Sunday, May 13, 1945, to be a day of prayer.
35:38I call upon the people of the United States, whatever their faith,
35:44to unite in offering joyful thanks to God for the victory we have won
35:50and to pray that he will support us to the end of our present struggle
35:56and guide us into the ways of peace.
35:59I also call upon my countrymen to dedicate this day of prayer
36:05to the memory of those who have given their lives
36:09to make possible our victory.
36:13In witness for us, I have hereunto set my hand
36:18and caused the seal of the United States of America to be a fix.
36:22Ladies and gentlemen, you have just heard the President of the United States.
36:27Now, our national anthem.
36:52The President of the United States of America
36:57The President of the United States of America
36:58The President of the United States of America
37:00The President of the United States of America

37:15The President of the United States of America
37:17The President of the United States of America
37:19The first day of the false report of the war's end,
37:45we were, I think, at Lenz, Austria.
37:54And I remember a wild celebration going on, the war is over.
38:01And there were many of the striped uniform concentration camp people on the streets.
38:12And I was called in to drive a half-track for Major Tuthill, two radio operators, Major
38:21Tuthill and I, to follow a Russian staff car.
38:28And we took off like mad following the Russians.
38:32And I remember driving up the road to the camp.
38:39There were the ex-prisoners going up and down the road.
38:44There are no words to describe this sense of freedom and this jubilation that took place
38:51during this liberation time.
38:53And of course now we were seeing army uniforms and the allied soldiers were headquartered
39:00wherever they were.
39:01And the soldiers were walking the streets.
39:04And my girlfriend and I had a little tiny pad because there was still not stuff in the
39:10stores.
39:11There was still basically shuttered.
39:13And the two words of English, actually I knew three by the time I came to this country,
39:17but the first two words I learned were signature please.
39:21And we invented this activity.
39:24We would go to a soldier and hand him his pen and his study pencil and ask for a signature.
39:30And I still have those too some place.
39:32A little pad of signatures.
39:34And some exes where they couldn't obviously write.
39:39And again mostly British and Canadians.
39:43And I remember that the other one was candy and please.
39:47So we would give them, we'd ask for their signature and then we would ask for candy please.
39:52Because of course they had thrown this stuff from the trucks as they came through, the tanks
39:57and so on.
40:01And there was this great loving and rejoicing and great love for the Americans and the British.
40:10We were liberated the last day of the war.
40:14That was the day, May 8, 1945.
40:21That was the day of our liberation.
40:23And the end of it we usually sing a song which says, God, let us, give us, give us a chance
40:34to get to freedom, get to Poland, get back to Poland, to our country.
40:42It gave us spirit, it gave us a reason to live again.
40:50An American got up and he says, you are all free, we are Americans, you are all free,
40:57you don't have to be afraid of them.
40:59He worked here at the Ghani, a nice mezuzah, you know, you know, like this.
41:03And all of a sudden he pulled, they pulled out about four, five Yiddish Jewish flags.
41:09And they stand up and he says, who is that Jew?
41:13Because we had a few French people over there too, you know, another national, most often
41:17Jews.
41:18He said, you stay here and we are going to play the Jewish hand.
41:22They put him in trucks and jeeps and they took him to hospitals or they made tents.
41:32And they put him in, they gave him water, they gave him packets from the Red Cross.
41:39They let us know that the soldiers are coming.
41:45And we went out to greet the American soldiers.
41:50And we dropped to their feet and we kissed their boots.
41:55Some of them that couldn't walk, they were just crawling.
41:58They picked up and carried the men into the camps.
42:04I would ask you all to remember those of our comrades who fell in the struggle.
42:10They gave their lives that others might have freedom.
42:15And no man can do more than that.
42:17The German war is therefore at an end.
42:47After years of intense preparation, Germany hurled herself on Poland at the beginning of
42:55September 1939.
42:59And in pursuance of our guarantee to Poland and in common with the French Republic, Great
43:06Britain, the British Empire and Commonwealth of Nations declared war upon this foul aggression.
43:14Finally, almost the whole world was combined against the evildoers who are now prostrate
43:22before us.
43:25But let us not forget for a moment the toils and efforts that lie ahead.
43:31We must now devote all our strength and resources to the completion of our task, both at home and
43:39abroad.
43:40Advanced Britannia, long live the cause of freedom.
43:47God save the King.
43:48There'll be love and laughter and peace ever after, tomorrow when the world is free.
44:04Men and women, you have fought, striven and endured to your utmost.
44:12None knows that better than I do.
44:16And as your King, I thank with a full heart those who bore arms so valiantly on land and sea
44:25or in the air, and all civilians who, shouldering their many burdens, have carried them unflinchingly
44:33without complaint.
44:35Those memories in our minds, let us think what it was that has upheld us through nearly six
44:42years of suffering and peril.
44:45The knowledge that everything was at stake.
44:48Our freedom, our independence, our very existence as a people, but the knowledge also that in defending
44:56ourselves, we were defending the liberties of the whole world, that our cause was the cause
45:05not of this nation only, not of this empire and commonwealth only, but of every land where
45:12freedom is cherished and law and liberty go hand in hand.
45:19We must still wait and see.
45:30We're going to hang out the washing on the sea tree.
45:34Have you any dirty washing, mother dear?
