On this day, April 25, 1945 a symbolic event happened on the river Elbe in the south east German town of Torgau.
It was here that the United States and Soviet armies met. A picture went around the world of two young men, one wearing a Red Army uniform, the other the fatigues of the United States Army shook hands and embraced.
That poignant moment offered hope to the world. And look at us now. Back fighting, manufacturing shells to maim and kill.
