A retelling of the events on May 8, 1945: VE Day

This documentary brings to life the dramatic events that unfolded on the day World War Two ended in Europe: from Winston Churchill's famous BBC Broadcast in England to Truman's Victory Speech in Washington to ninety-six-year-old Jean Samuel's journey home from Dachau and onto the pacific theatre and the millions of men still fighting on the front line. Narrated by the English actor Tony Robinson, this film relives the "unique stories and seminal events" in the 24 hours after the War came to an end on May 8, 1945. It weaves together eyewitness accounts from people there on the day, expert contributions, and rare color archive footage with stills brought to life in 3D. VE Day: Minute by Minute brings to life the events and celebrations that ended one of Europe's darkest periods in history.
