8 May 1945
V-E Day
After years of combat stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Middle East, rumors began to spread in spring 1945 that the German army was close to surrender.
So hotly anticipated, this long-hoped-for event had been given a name before it became a reality: V-E Day, for Victory in Europe.
The term first appeared in The New York Times on Sept. 10, 1944, just over three months after the Allies took the beaches at Normandy and began their march inland.
Nine days later, President Franklin D. Roosevelt ordered government agencies to begin making plans for the demobilization of the roughly three million civilians supporting the war effort.
“The transition from war to peace should be carried forward rapidly,” Roosevelt said.
“This is the time to do the planning, although the war — even in Europe — is not over.”
Over the next six months, the Allied forces squeezed the German army along two fronts back to its prewar borders, and by spring, the end of the war felt close at hand.
On May 7, 1945, the news of Germany’s surrender spread quickly around the world.

Massacres in the Sétif and Guelma regions
The 8th of May 1945 is a key date for the French history.
Each year, one celebrates the victory over the Nazi Germany.
On the other side of the Mediterranean in Algeria, this day of glory is one day of mourning.
During the celebration of the victory in 1945, Algerians asserted their will of independence.
They will undergo during several weeks a violent repression led by the French Army.
It will make thousands of victims. http://autre8mai1945-lefilm.com/
alors que la France fêtait la victoire contre le nazisme, quelque 35 000 personnes ont été tuées par les autorités= militaires françaises et les milices coloniales.

Ce 8 mai 1945, alors que la France célèbre la victoire des Alliés sur l’Allemagne nazie, les festivités tournent au drame à Sétif, Guelma et Kherrata, dans l’est de l’Algérie, où des nationalistes défilent drapeaux algériens à la main.
La répression de ces manifestations, considérées comme les prémices de la guerre d’indépendance, fait plusieurs milliers de morts parmi les Algériens, victimes de la police, de l’armée ou de milices de colons.
Une centaine d’Européens, pris à partie par des nationalistes, furent aussi tués. http://www.liberation.fr/politiques/2015/04/19/l-hommage-de-la-france-aux-victimes-de-setif_1252006
