And something like October 12, 1944 in Greece--we Actually celebrate on
Octorber 28, when Greece entered the war in 1940, by rejecting Italy's
ultimatum, and successfully repelled the Italian attack.

I would assume that the farther you are from Germany, the earlier the
war ended for you, as the retreating German army would have to pass
through still-occupied countries.
