The Associated Press news agency has apologised for sacking a reporter who broke the news that World War II had ended a day before the agreed embargo.
Ed Kennedy defied the military censors to report the Nazi surrender on the night of 7 May 1945 in France.
The UK and the US had agreed to suppress the announcement for a day so that Russia could stage a second surrender ceremony in Berlin.
