Background: The May 7, 1945 final edition of La Presse serves as a powerful primary source, immortalizing the precise moment Canadians learned of Nazi Germany's unconditional surrender at Reims. Dominated by its striking banner headline, "FIN DE LA GUERRE" (End of the War), and an exact tally measuring the conflict at five years, eight months, and six days, the front page is visually anchored by portraits of Allied leaders—Churchill, Truman, Stalin, and Eisenhower—and framed by a full-margin border of Allied flags and "V for Victory" symbols. Beyond its iconic cover, the full ten-page issue delivers rich, real-time reporting from Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force (SHAEF), detailed battlefield retrospectives, and reaction pieces capturing the immediate relief and anticipation across Montreal and the global stage hours before the official V-E Day declarations of May 8.
