well the "lone ranger" was based off of a story about some texas rangers who got killed, and he was the only survivor and he made a mask out a shirt and remembered his friends by standing up to truth and justice and the america way (or was that super man?

) any way, it is Lotesse's turn

glad you got this started again I thought it was a cool thread at the time but it appears we should stay away from the 1800's if it takes this long to get an answer.

I know, huh!!

O.K., this is in the twentieth century -

On what day (date) did World War II (the war of Allies vs Axis) officially end?

Count Comfect · 12-19-2005, 06:50 PM

September 8, 1951, if you're counting from Japan. Much earlier if you're counting from Germany.

Lotesse · 12-19-2005, 07:14 PM

Counting from Germany - not Japan.

This date is also called V-E Day.
