Colonel Cosgrave's Signature Snafu Ends WWII Like A Pro
On the historic day of September 2, 1945, setting sails at the USS Missouri, the Allies and Japan met to shatter WWII’s mic drop moment. Enter Colonel Lawrence Cosgrave, who decided that signing the 'end of war' document was way too mainstream, so he signed his name on the wrong line instead. Forget the global peace symbol - it was literally a line-crossing move worthy of paperwork legend. Maybe Colonel Cosgrave just wanted to ghostwrite the treaty or create diplomatic chaos to upstage the event? Either way, WWII officially ended with one signature that screamed, 'I’m unique!' Talk about a plot twist more unexpected than a Netflix documentary drop.
