I recently picked up 3 issues of Stars and Stripes from May, 1945 including the May 9th issue "It's Official Now!", announcing the end of the war in the ETO. There was also a supplement to this as well as an issue with info about Redeployment and "points", which I'm sure was the number one topic of conversation at the time (well....maybe #2, these were 19 year old men! )
