German submarine U-858 at Cape Henlopen, Delaware, May 1945. Note the Sikorsky HNS-1 and K-ship blimp overhead.

Jodl had signed the instrument of surrender in Rheims on 7 May; Keitel signed a similar instrument in Berlin on 8 May. President Truman inherited a victory, and a post-war nightmare.

10 years later, almost to the day, I was a crew member on one of those K-Bags out of Lakehurst. My dad came home from the war in 45. PJ
 
Thanks Paul. My dad came home from the war in '45 too.

Good looking guy!

He was a CWO in the Signal Corps, installing radar stations for the Commonwealth in the pacific islands before we entered the war, then training Army radar operators after Dec 7, '41.
