“THE ALLIED ARMIES, THROUGH SACRIFICE AND DEVOTION AND WITH GOD’S HELP, HAVE WRUNG FROM GERMANY A FINAL AND UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER.” Truman’s V-E Day proclamation, calling for a national day of prayer on Sunday, 13 May 1945. “Much remains to be done. The victory won in the West must now be won in the east. The whole world must be cleansed of the evil from which half the world has been freed.”
