As a retired person born in April 1941 in the small town of Duns Scotland! I somehow ended up in Dover, Kent during the early war years. And was there when WW2 ended.

 Many, things have changed over the years, some excellent, some good, some extremely bad, and many forgettable too!

Governments all over the world have remained the same, mainly untrustworthy, liars, con artists and absolute champions of the wealthy, elite, and possibly the very crooked. 

Remembering things about WW2 is not easy and should be left to the historians, they have to be honest when they do say things, as history will find them out in the future!
