Victory over Japan Day (V-J Day, also known as Victory in the Pacific Day, or V-P Day) is a name chosen for the day on which the Surrender of Japan occurred, officially ending World War II. The term has been applied to both the day on which the initial announcement of Japan's surrender was made in the afternoon of August 15, 1945, as well as the date the formal surrender ceremony was performed in Tokyo on September 2, 1945.
Literary comment[]
The above applies in all Harry Turtledove timelines with a Point of Divergence after 1945. It is immediately germane to only a few stories.
Victory over Japan Day in The Man With the Iron Heart[]
It was hoped that with victory over Japan in September 1945, the German Freedom Front, which had been active since Germany's surrender in May, would cease its activity. This was not the case, however.
