  • On May 8, 1945, residents in Luzerne County and the Wyoming Valley celebrated Victory in Europe Day, marking the end of World War II in Europe.
  • The celebrations came after the official declaration of Germany's surrender, with flags lowered to half-staff in mourning for President Franklin D. Roosevelt and to acknowledge the sacrifices made.
  • Thousands gathered in the downtown area of Wilkes-Barre as horns blared, church bells rang, flares illuminated Lee Park, and nearly all schools and businesses closed for the day.
  • The Wilkes-Barre Record described the day as one of “joyfulness mixed with prayer and thanksgiving,” with automobile horns announcing V-E Day for at least two hours after the proclamation.
  • The event marked a historic victory but came amid lingering uncertainty about the war’s progress in the Pacific and future global stability, underscoring the complex legacy of V-E Day.
