VE 데이 1945
As VE Day dawns on 8th May 2020 it is 75 years since the guns fell silent at the end of the war in Europe. Years of carnage and destruction had come to an end and millions of people took to the streets and pubs to celebrate peace, mourn their loved ones and to hope for the future, but not forgetting those still in conflict until 15th August when it was announced that Japan had surrendered unconditionally to the Allies, effectively ending World War II.
The 75th anniversary provides our nation, and our friends around the world, with an opportunity to reflect on the enormous sacrifice, courage and determination of people from all walks of life who saw us through this dark and terrifying period and celebrate the arrival of peace in Europe.
We remember the members of the Armed Forces and Merchant Navy from many countries who gave their lives or returned home injured in body and mind, the hard-working women and men who operated the factories, mines, shipyards and farms, and ARP wardens, police officers, doctors, nurses, fireman, local defence volunteers and others who toiled day and night selflessly on the home front during difficult frightening and uncertain times.
The consequences of warfare for millions of people across Europe were very great. Whilst many rejoiced at the prospect of peace, the strain of air raids, rationing, hunger and displacement had taken their toll and left many in a reflective, rather than ecstatic, mood.
For some, the celebrations were a painful reminder of loved ones lost in the conflict. Six years of horror and bloodshed had killed approximately 67,200 civilians in Britain and her Crown Colonies, 과 383,700 members of the British Armed Forces. Millions of other men, women and children had died across the world including the Jews and other minorities who were murdered in the death camps. And even though the war in Europe was over, many people were mindful that their friends and relatives were still in action overseas or in POW camps in the Far East and yet to return home.
Dover had seen particular hardship during the war. Because of its close proximity to France, Dover was Britain’s main frontline town during World War ll. As Dover was under threat from long-range weapons on the opposite side of the Channel, Prime Minister Winston Churchill took this seriously. “We must insist upon maintaining superior artillery positions on the Dover promontory no matter what form of attack they are exposed to. We must fight for command of the Strait”. (Speech made by Churchill in 1940.)
During 1939, the Admiralty took control of the port of Dover transforming the harbour into a naval base. Dover suffered heavily because of enemy shelling and bombing raids, 엄청난 양의 피해. 그럼에도 불구하고, 도버 성은 적의 폭탄에 의해 그대로 유지, 전쟁 중에 도버의 힘의 상징이되었습니다 – 오늘날까지 지속되는 힘.
