No V-Day?

Untie those whistles; take those boards off the shopwindows; disband those parades; put that bottle of bourbon back on the shelf--there may be no V-day.

No general surrender of the German Armies is expected; they may gradually disintegrate and surrender piecemeal. And the Allies' policy is not to accept surrender from any hastily contrived substitute German Government; the Allies are not looking for any Nazi Badoglio; the war with Germany will be finally over only when all Germany has been occupied, town by town.

This news had not yet dampened the American faith that soon there will come a day which they can celebrate without reservations. The U.S. kept its eyes on the Siegfried Line and on Quebec.
