Transcript

Yesterday morning at 2.41 a.m. at General Eisenhower's headquarters, General Jodor, the representative of the German High Command, and of grand admiral Dernitz, the designated head of the German state, signed the act of unconditional surrender of all German land, sea, and air forces in Europe to the Allied Expeditionary Force, and simultaneously to the Soviet high command.

We may allow ourselves a brief period of rejoicing, but let us not forget for a moment the toils and efforts that lie ahead. Japan will all hurt treachery and greed, remain sons of Jews. The injuries she has inflicted upon Great Britain, the United States and other countries, and and her detestable crilities, call for justice and retribution.

We must now devote all our strength and resources to the completion of our task, both at home and abroad. Advanced Britannia long lives the cause of freedom. God saves the King.
