The Last Fighter Ace of WWII Shot Down His Final Plane on the Last Day of the War in Europe #history

The war in Europe ended at midnight on May 8, 1945. Hours before the ceasefire, one pilot was still fighting — and scored his final kill as the guns fell silent. On the final day of the air war in Europe, aerial combat continued even as surrender negotiations concluded on the ground. Several Allied and German aces scored kills on May 8, 1945 — the last day of the European war. Czech pilot Karel Šedivý shot down a German aircraft hours before the ceasefire. The men who died in aerial combat on the last day of the war in Europe died after Germany had effectively already surrendered — their deaths recorded in the final minutes of a conflict that had already ended on paper.
