May 8 is the double commemoration in France, marking victory in Europe and defeat of Nazi Germany.
Germany surrendered on May 7, 1945, however, Stalin demanded that the Germans surrender in Berlin so a new signature was made there on May 8 in the presence of representatives of the USSR, France, the UK and the USA.
