WWII, NYC, Times Square on V-J Day, 1945

On August 15, 1945, the largest crowd in the history of Times Square gathered to celebrate Victory over Japan Day. The victory itself was announced by a headline on the zipper news ticker at One Times Square, which read "*** OFFICIAL TRUMAN ANNOUNCES JAPANESE SURRENDER ***"; the six asterisks representing the branches of the U.S. Armed Forces. Times Square is a major commercial intersection and neighborhood in Midtown Manhattan, at the junction of Broadway and Seventh Avenue. Brightly adorned with billboards and advertisements. Times Square is sometimes referred to as The Crossroads of the World, The Center of the Universe, and the heart of The Great White Way. One of the world's busiest pedestrian intersections and the hub of the Broadway Theater District. Photographed by Dick DeMarsico, August 15, 1945.
