Show Notes
Wars can start with a bang but end with a whimper. Often an attack or an invasion will begin a war, but even one when one side surrenders, it can take days, weeks, or months for word of the capitulation to get out to everyone.
While the European theater of World War II officially ended on May 8, 1945, the word didn’t reach everyone right away.
