Tomorrow is VE Day, an appropriate time to read about the reporter who broke the news of the start of WWII, in the "Scoop of the 20th Century." Her name was Clare Hollingworth, and she certainly deserves remembering.

ok, I will celebrate the silver medal then, with some delicious wurst, Sauerkraut und Bier......U can't come in first always!

I heard that most Germans would rather forget VE day, but celebrate the wall (1989) coming down instead.
Can't say I blame them.

the wall coming down is a VERY questionable celebration......most or many of the west Germans believe it was a great thing, if it wasn't for the financial disaster!
The years under communist government destroyed east Germany totally and made it into a typical left wing wishful lalaland.
Still it will take decades to Germanize it, (financially.....mentally, several parts are very "German".....if u know what I mean ☠️)
