Sacred Haven of Debauchery

We remember
Two days of the long history of World War II


The first...

On September 1, 1939, the bloodiest conflict in history began – World War II, which lasted for almost six years.

On September 1, 1939, Germany invaded Poland without declaring war. Two German air fleets bombed the already weak Polish air force at airfields even before Polish aircraft could take off. After that, the German aviation struck at the largest cities and military facilities of Poland, destroying bridges, supply points on railways, transport hubs, and power plants.

In 30 days, Polish resistance was almost broken. The last, unprecedentedly cruel act of the Polish campaign was the prolonged bombing of Warsaw, where thousands of refugees gathered...

That's how it all began... More and more states were drawn into the hostilities, further accelerating the cycle of death and destruction.

… and the last day of World War II.

After the end of the war in Europe, Japan remained the last enemy of the countries of the anti-fascist coalition. Incredibly, but true: despite the fact that about 60 countries declared war on the Land of the Rising Sun, the latter categorically refused to surrender.

After long and fierce battles, Japan lost Indonesia and Indochina. The subsequent ultimatum from the coalition was again rejected.

After some time, the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki became the first cities to be subjected to an atomic bombing. The military operation, which claimed the lives of more than 70,000 people, was, according to the official version of the United States, intended to "speed up Japan's surrender."

Between the two atomic attacks on Japanese industrial centers, the USSR declared war on Japan, and a day later, the Soviet army inflicted a crushing defeat on the Japanese army in Manchuria.

Further resistance was futile, and on September 2, 1945, the act of unconditional surrender of Japan was signed on board the American battleship Missouri. The largest war in human history was over.

Millions of people died on the battlefields, were tortured in concentration camps, died in destroyed cities from hunger and disease. Millions were maimed.



We must remember this and do everything in our power to prevent such events from happening again. And may tanks, combat aircraft, and ships remain only on the screens of our monitors and in parades.
