About this book

'Today is VE Day – the day for which the British people have endured five years, eight months and four days of war. With the unconditional surrender of Germany to the Allies, the war in Europe is over.’ 

Imagine the mood on that day in May 1945, when a journalist at the Mirror wrote these very words – after five years of reporting on destruction, death and hardship, interspersed only sometimes with heroism and hope. 

This book will take you on a trip back in time through those years of World War II. Through authentic newspaper articles and rare photos, you’ll see exactly how the British people learned of the events happening across the warring world – from the German invasion of Poland in 1939, all the way through to the Japanese surrender in 1945.

Archivist insight: We reproduce these newspaper articles from scan archives. In some cases, there’ll be blemishes and the reproduction quality might not be as clear or precise as it was in the original paper.
