Salvo in honour of the Victory Day
On the occasion of 9th May – Victory Day, the day of victory over fascism and Germany’s capitulation in WWII, the Guard of the Serbian Armed Forces fired a salvo of ten volleys from six pieces of ZIS – 76 mm artillery.The honorary salvo was attended by Chief of General Staff General Ljubisa Dikovic, Guard Commander Major General Milomir Todorovic, and numerous citizens.
The Victory Day over fascism is marked in all European countries in memory of 9thMay 1945, when the unconditional surrender of the Nazi Germany was signed in Berlin, which ended WWII, which was led between 61 countries with over 110 million soldiers. Between 55 and 60 million people were killed, and around 35 million wounded. The war continued in this part of the Balkans some time longer, until the final break of the adversaries, and the number of the killed and wounded was never precisely determined. It is believed that, in those four years of war, Yugoslavia lost over 1,700,000 people.
