Several days after the fall of Berlin, in Berlin itself desperate street – by street resistance was put up by the Germans and was not completely overcome until the war itself ended, after Hitler's suicide, with Germany's unconditional surrender. On May 7, the remnants of the German army surrendered unconditionally. The end of the war in Europe was declared. Churchill and Truman proclaimed the day of victory. The response to this news was basically identical in all the Allied countries: eruptions of boundless joy. Tens of thousands flowed into the streets of London, into Red Square in Moscow, and into the boulevards of New York, all celebrating.
