President Truman speaks from the White House on May 8, 1945, to announce that the Allies had won unconditional surrender of the forces of the German Reich.

"V-E Day coincided with Truman’s 61st birthday. Although the new president urged Americans to temper their elation until all hostilities ended (which occurred three months later, in mid-August, when Japan surrendered), he did tell reporters that it was the best birthday he’d ever had."

Thanks.
