"The successful 70-year campaign to convince people the USA and not the USSR beat Hitler"

I'm somewhat annoyed by even supposedly reputable media claiming that WW2 ended on 8th May 1945. There was still fighting going on in Europe till May 11th in Europe*, and the War in East and Southeast Asia didn't end till September '45. Many perceptions of WW2 have been warped by the Cold War and time in general.

*: The Kurland pocket surrendered on the 11th, for example.
