Rumor: Chuck Norris and the Nazi Surrender

A popular Chuck Norris “fact” states that he was born the day before the Nazis surrendered in World War II. Is this true or false?

It’s not true.

These graphics often claim:
Chuck Norris was born May 6th 1945
The Nazis surrendered May 7th 1945
Coincidence?
I don’t think so.

While the Nazis did surrender in May of 1945, Chuck Norris was born several years earlier on March 10, 1940.

If you wanted to find a celebrity who was born on May 6, 1945, look no further than singer Bob Seger.

Below are a few variations of the meme being circulated over the past few years.
