@azzz555 Actually, this song is full of special effects, though not nearly as much as other songs on this album, such as Woke Up Near Chelsea. Then, there's the amazing track St. John the Divine, off Tyranny of Distance...
Anyway, the point is that Ted Leo uses a lot of special effects and he uses them very well.
The context of the lyrics would indicate it's probably the date when some of these events were taking place that impacted him enough to put them in this song. Not significant except to the artist.
my volume is on 0 and i still hear it

This song needs a good video! Someone like Tom Sharpling would be perfect to direct it.

@ineverfakejumps Except Germany agreeing to unconditional surrender in 1945, I don't know. But it seems it could be that.
