According to WIKIPEDIA (to add this datapoint) – “The war in Europe concluded with the liberation of German-occupied territories; the invasion of Germany by the Western Allies and the Soviet Union, culminating in the Fall of Berlin to Soviet troops; Hitler’s suicide; and the German unconditional surrender on May 8, 1945.

Following the refusal of Japan to surrender on the terms of the Potsdam Declaration, the US dropped the first atomic bombs on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945 and Nagasaki on August 9, 1945. Faced with imminent invasion of the Japanese archipelago, the possibility of more atomic bombings, and the Soviet Union’s declared entry into the war against Japan on the eve of invading Manchuria, Japan announced on August 10, 1945 its intention to surrender, signing a surrender document on September 2, 1945” – the official end to World War II.
