    I literally don’t understand how renaming “Victory in Europe” day to “Victory Day for World War Two” downplays the role of allied forces. Also, what are they calling VP day now?

      It’s… right under the headline.

          It doesn’t. It’s just how the headline is written. It’d be nice if they didn’t do it that way, but that’s the grammatically-recognized way of doing it.
