Today marks the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day, when Nazi Germany unconditionally surrendered to the Allied forces, ending nearly six years of brutal conflict on the European continent. World War II remains the deadliest and most destructive war in human history, with millions of lives lost, communities devastated, and political boundaries redrawn.
As part of our ongoing #WWII80YearsAfter educational campaign, we are releasing a video teaser that previews an upcoming feature exploring the course of the war - from its outbreak in 1939 to its conclusion in 1945. The full video will offer insight into key events, critical battles, and the war’s long-term consequences, aiming to deepen historical understanding and promote reflection.
Launched in September 2024, the #WWII80YearsAfter campaign offers a rich collection of educational resources, including scholarly articles, historical documents, and curated digital content that highlight the global scale and impact of the conflict. From the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact to the Nuremberg Trials, the campaign traces both well-known and lesser-known moments that shaped the modern world.
