Description:

The May 7, 1945 issue of TIME Magazine (Volume XLV, Number 19) features an iconic cover illustrating a large red "X" scrawled across the face of Adolf Hitler. Published exactly one week after Hitler’s suicide in his Berlin bunker, this issue is historically significant as the very first "X" cover in the magazine's history. By historic coincidence, the date on this magazine cover—May 7, 1945—ended up being the exact day Nazi Germany signed its unconditional surrender at Reims, France, officially ending World War II in Europe the following day (V-E Day).
