    I literally don’t understand how renaming “Victory in Europe” day to “Victory Day for World War Two” downplays the role of allied forces. Also, what are they calling VP day now?

      US president downplays role of allied forces in defeating Nazism, saying ‘nobody was close to us in terms of bravery or brilliance’
