On this day during W.W. 2

September 2, 2025, marks the formal surrender of the Empire of Japan on the USS Missouri to the Allies.
The surrender was primarily caused by the US dropping nuclear bombs on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki (the only use of nuclear weapons in wartime) and the Soviet invasion of Japanese held Manchuria and the looming threat of the massive Red Army turning its sights on Japan.
And that, my friends, concludes the 80th anniversary of World War 2.

On November 19, 1942, the Red Army initiated Operation Uranus, a meticulously planned and executed offensive that aimed to encircle the German Sixth Army and its allies in Stalingrad. This operation, involving over 1.1 million Soviet troops, exemplified remarkable strategic coordination, logistical skill, and operational daring. By striking the weaker flanks held by Axis satellite forces, the Soviets created an unprecedented double envelopment, trapping tens of thousands of enemy soldiers within a tightening pocket. The success of Operation Uranus not only showcased the Red Army’s growing mastery of large-scale mechanized warfare but also marked a decisive turning point on the Eastern Front, shifting the initiative firmly in favor of the Allies. It demonstrated extraordinary resilience, planning, and tactical ingenuity under extreme conditions, cementing Stalingrad as a symbol of Soviet determination and military prowess during the Second World War. The operation remains studied today as a masterpiece of strategic execution.
