Today, May 8, sees the country commemorate the 75th anniversary of VE Day and The Courier is bringing you special coverage to mark this historic event.
We have produced a special 24-page supplement looking back 75 years to when Germany surrendered after five years of bloody war.
The supplement, available to Courier subscribers only, includes:
- The poignant black-and-white pictures that captured the impromptu celebrations that broke out across our regions as news of Victory in Europe began to emerge.
- The tragedy of the merchant ship sunk by Germany off Anstruther just minutes before the war ended.
- The extraordinary story of the Rae brothers from Broughty Ferry who were awarded four Military Crosses for bravery.
- How Scotland’s favourite comic strip characters The Broons and Oor Wullie joined in the celebrations in their own wonderful way.
