Though it is hardly imaginable that Germany ever makes this an official holiday (at least april, 20ieth 'Führergeburtstag' isn't one anymore ), we can be glad that the 3rd Reich was finished. I can also understand that a lot of people in Europe were also not happy with what happened afterwards for decades, until 1989. Who knows what would have happened if Germany had not attacked Poland, and Russia. Maybe the latter would have invaded Finnland and Poland with success, and then only stopped at the atlantic coast.. or maybe nothing of that at all.
Yes, no one should ever forget this. Thank you for your considerate comment

Not to take away from VE day. But is 20 July of any significance to Germans these days?
