Victory in Europe summed up in 26 seconds

As useful as it may be to distort history and manufacture a narrative to appeal to patriots and nationalists the facts of victory and why we are not all goose stepping our way to the grave can clearly be summarised right here.

It was a collective effort. It was about cooperation. It was about celebrating the very people many of our politicians would rather we rubbed out.

History can be painful. That is why it is so fascinating.
