VE Day: 80th Anniversary Magazine Specials

Don’t miss these two glossy commemorative magazines, available

A newsflash on the BBC on the evening of 7 May, 1945 brought the glad tidings: the war in Europe is over. The guns went silent at 10.01pm London time. Finally, the agony was over. Six long years of fighting ended with the unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany to the Allies, and the nation could rejoice.

To commemorate the 80th anniversary of VE Day, we bring you two special special collector’s magazines that look back at events that led to the end of World War II in Europe and marked a new era.

In the VE Day 80: Anniversary Collector’s Edition we share photographs from the street parties that were held all over Britain, while esteemed author and journalist Paul Routledge paints a picture of how the day was bittersweet, mixed with jubilation and hope for the future, as well as sadness and regret for the past. Routledge also recounts the key events of the Second World War, including Dunkirk, the Battle of Britain and Pearl Harbour.

Also available is World War Two - A History in 50 Photographs, a definitive pictorial account of the war. Carefully chosen from hundreds of thousands of images, this commemorative magazine shares 50 exceptional photographs - including many rarely seen shots - that capture the devastating moments, horror, hope and eventual triumph of World War Two. With rare and incredible photographs taken from an unrivalled archive, this magazine is a fitting tribute to those who lost their lives in WWII as well as the millions who survived to build the Britain we know today.
