2 September - The Day of the End of the Second World War

40
The end date of the Second World War was set on the day of the signing of the Japan Surrender Act - the last member of the Berlin-Rome-Tokyo coalition, which emerged from the war, which ended for global aggressors who were planning to subjugate the whole world to themselves with complete and unconditional defeat.

According to the Act, military actions from Japan ceased immediately, all its armed forces unconditionally capitulated, while weapon, military and civilian property remained without damage. The Government of Japan and the General Staff of its army were ordered to immediately release all prisoners of war from the Allied armies, as well as all civilians interned during the war. All Japanese officials pledged to strictly follow the instructions and follow the orders of the High Command of the allied countries.



According to the terms of the Potsdam Declaration, Japan’s sovereignty was limited to the four largest islands of Honshu, Kyushu, Shikoku and Hokkaido - the basis of its national territory, as well as a number of surrounding islands, but smaller islands of the Japanese archipelago. At the same time, the islands of Iturup, Kunashir, Shikotan and Habomai were ceded to the Soviet Union. Today, these islands are an integral part of the Russian Federation - the successor of the USSR.

The worst war in the world stories lasted exactly six years plus one day. Starting September 1, 1939, the global massacre unleashed by the hands of distraught, man-hating fanatics who imagined themselves as the arbiters of the fate of the entire planet, took the lives of more 65 MILLION PEOPLE.

The main events of the great war developed on the territory of our country. It was on the Eastern Front that the main world aggressor, Hitler Germany, suffered up to 93% of all its losses. Victory in the most terrible war in the history of mankind is priceless, its price is incalculable, but our great people paid the highest price for it. This fact cannot be questioned.

I would like to hope that mankind has forever learned the lessons of the Second World War, and the global misfortune will never happen again. Unfortunately, with the end of the last world fire wars on the planet have not diminished. The twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first century were marked by a number of local wars, indirectly, and more recently, the leading world powers have become direct participants, some of which seem to have forgotten the horrors of world wars, guided by the same considerations and motives all the aggressors of the past ...

Recalling the great war and all the fallen, we believe that the leadership of all countries of the world and every person on the planet will make all their efforts to prevent the repetition of the 1939-1945 tragedy, as the great Einstein said, “I don’t know the Third World War will be the weapon, but sticks and stones will be used in the Fourth. ”

          The main thing in these "carve-ups" is not resources and land, but the desire of some not to do anything and to have REALLY ALL (yes, drink, chew, swallow) and this is more briefly called Egoism, Greed and some other synonyms.
          Resources are a way to achieve the cherished result.

          "The world lacks clean water.
          And in the coming decades, this problem will only grow.
          Billions of people live in conditions of scarcity of a key resource for survival ..

        Wars have always happened, and I'm afraid they will not stop, at least in the foreseeable future. After the 1st World War, they created the League of Nations in the hope of creating a mechanism that excludes the creation of preconditions for conflict situations. After the 2nd World War, the UN. What turned out to be, too much to remind.

It's bad that we have our own admirers, such as Gozman, who said that "Smersh" behaved in the war no better than the Gestapo and people like producer Alexei Guskov, filming "4 Days in May" at the request of the government's mega-geopolitical considerations.

For anyone how, but for me this fact is an indicator of a lot ..

        This historical fact occurred during the signing of the Act of Unconditional Surrender Germany !

        The Soviet representative, General Susloparov, signed the act in Reims at his own peril and risk, since by the time set for signing, instructions from the Kremlin had not yet arrived. He decided to put his signature with the proviso that this act should not exclude the possibility of signing another act at the request of one of the allied countries. Shortly after signing the act, Susloparov received a telegram from Stalin with a categorical prohibition to sign surrender.
        Stalin was indignant at the signing of surrender at Reims, in which the Western allies played a leading role. He refused to recognize this act, demanding a new signing in Berlin taken by the Red Army and asking the allies not to make official announcements of victory until the surrender came into force (that is, until May 9).
        Churchill (who noted that parliament would require him to sign surrender) and Truman (who said that Stalin’s request came too late and it was no longer possible to cancel the announcement of the victory) refused the last request. For his part, Stalin said: “The agreement signed at Reims cannot be canceled, but it cannot be recognized. Surrender must be perpetrated as a major historical act and adopted not on the territory of the victors, but where the fascist aggression came from - in Berlin, and not unilaterally, but necessarily by the supreme command of all countries of the anti-Hitler coalition. ” In response, the Allies agreed to hold a re-signing ceremony in Berlin. Eisenhower informed Jodl that the German Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces was to appear for the final official procedure at the time and place that would be indicated by the Soviet and Allied commands.

        May 8 at 22:43 CET [9] (at 00:43, May 9 Moscow time) in the Karlshorst suburb of Berlin in the building of the former canteen of the military engineering school, another Act on the unconditional surrender of Germany was signed. Its text basically repeats literally the text of May 7, including even Article 4, which has now lost its real meaning. The Karlshorst act also confirmed the time of the ceasefire - May 8 at 23:01 CET (May 9 at 01:01 Moscow time). It should be noted that this last circumstance deprived the May 8 act of any practical significance, since a) all orders that this act required to issue were already given by the German command on May 7 and b) if they were not given, give them and bring to 17 minutes left before the surrender entered into force was physically impossible.
        The changes in the text of the act were as follows: 1) in the English text, the expression Soviet High Command (Soviet High Command) was replaced by a more accurate translation of the Soviet term: Supreme High Command of the Red Army (2) the part of article 2 was expanded and detailed , interpreting the obligation of the Germans to transfer military equipment intact and safe 3) the direction of the May 7 act was withdrawn: “Only this text in English is authoritative” and article 6 was inserted, which read: “This act was drawn up in Russian, English and Emetsk languages. Only Russian and English texts are authentic. ”

          Weller became the mayor of the city through complex manipulations, due to which the popularly elected mayor Subbotin was discredited, removed from office, then the law on the election of the mayor of Murmansk was changed and this raccoon was elected mayor by the deputies, in private. Now he and Kovtun have apparently laid eyes on the regional gas industry. The eternal flame in Murmansk did not go out even in the 90s, now why suddenly? And there is no gas in the houses, and when it will be unknown. A giant interchange is being built near the city, for which 6 billion rubles have been allocated and the purpose of which is not clear to many Murmansk residents. Rumor has it that Weller has a "trump interest" there.
