Vj Day Poster, Famous Photo Print From 1945, Sailor Kissing A Nurse Poster, Kissing The War Goodbye

VJ Day In Time Square Poster, August 15 1945.



Victory over Japan Day is the day on which Imperial Japan surrendered in World War II, in effect bringing the war to an end.

Alfred Eisenstaedt was a photographer of LIFE magazine in 1945. He made it his mission “to find and catch the storytelling moment.”

As he searched for subjects in times square, a sailor in front of him grabbed hold of a nurse, tilted her back and kissed her. Eisenstaedt’s photograph of that passionate swoop distilled the relief and promise of that momentous day in a single moment of unbridled joy (although some argue today that it should be seen as a case of sexual assault). His beautiful image has become the most famous and frequently reproduced picture of the 20th century, and it forms the basis of our collective memory of that transformative moment in world history.

✨ 1945 VJ Day poster Trivia:

Germans stated at the time that the Japanese were wise enough to—unlike themselves—give up in a hopeless situation, and were grateful that the atomic bomb was not ready in time to be used against them.
