Festival May 9 Victory Day history, World War II 1941 1945

"... Victory Day smelled gunpowder, this holiday with gray at the temples ..." - sung in the song "Victory Day", sounding more often during the May 9, a holiday which today has become very familiar to everyone, but even in the fifties of the XX century he did not have such a wide scale.

Moreover, May 9 was not even a day off, and was an ordinary working day for every citizen of the former Soviet Union. The song "Victory Day" appeared much later capitulation of Nazi Germany in the Great Patriotic War in 1945.

As the Victory Day holiday May 9 is celebrated in honor of the surrender of Nazi troops in the war against the troops of the Army of the Soviet Union, that the Soviet Union began in 1941, June 22.

Although both WWII it began in early autumn 1939, when the Nazi troops crossed the border of Poland. Very soon most of Europe was ruled by the German Wehrmacht and Hitler began to look to the East. Stalin did not believe in the imminent start of the war.

Moreover, the Soviet Union sought to close friendship with Germany, but Joseph Stalin soon just threw dispatches about the imminent offensive of the Wehrmacht on the western border.

Hitler sought to carry out a lightning operation in the East, which is known under the code name "Blitzkrieg". Blitzkrieg has not turned out as it has not turned victorious march of German troops on Red Square in Moscow, dreamed about high-ranking officials of the German Wehrmacht.

More even, on the contrary, as a result of a successful operation on the Berlin Reichstag shot up the red flag, reported the fall of Berlin, and at the same time promising quick surrender of Germany.

These acts were signed in 1945, 7 and 8 May. But since 1945, the Soviet Union did not attach special meaning and significance of the day May 9 up to 1965. During this period the Soviet government found in the Victory Day ideological subtext.

From that time until the collapse of the USSR in every city Festival May 9 celebrated with a special celebration. But the main action in this period becomes the parade of the Soviet Army in Red Square in Moscow.

In the Western world (Western Europe, the United States) in this period was also celebrated Victory Day, but without the characteristic swing Soviet Union. In the same Western Europe, it was celebrated a day earlier, and in the United States - and at the fall and wore, as well, and now, the name of Victory in Europe Day (Victory in Europe Day).

Americans from the very beginning of the war were not eager to join her, but after the bombing of Japanese planes Pearl Harbor in December 1941, were forced to take military action in the Pacific.

And only in 1944, along with its allies, American troops were able to open a second front in Europe opposed to the eastern front, where the Soviet army at the time had already developed a victorious offensive along the entire width of the front. The Americans have not been able to forgive Pearl Harbor, Japan, dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuclear bombs.

Today, the Victory Day is celebrated with the same scale and lavish celebrations like after 1965. However, after the collapse of the Soviet Union until 1995 festival has lost its momentum.

Today is the Day of Victory again returns its value as a kind of ideological unity. And the song "Victory Day" sounds with new force. And the veterans, there are fewer every year.

We congratulate all on the occasion of the Victory !!!
