Germany's Unconditional Surrender - Deutsche Kapitulation

The German Instrument of Surrender was the legal document that established the defeat and capitulation of Germany in World War II. Members of the German Oberkommando der Wermacht (OKW) signed the agreement, as did representatives of the Allied Expeditionary Forces. The Soviet High Command also participated. French commanders served and signed as witnesses to the event. An additional declaration of surrender was also generated and signed by the same three entities. This signing was witnessed once again by the French, as well as additional members of the United States delegation. These papers were signed on May 7th and 8th, 1945 respectively. May 8th became known as Victory Day (or V-Day) in Western Circles, while May 9th is celebrated in the post-Soviet states. In Germany, of course, it is only acknowledged as “Tag der Kapitulation” or in English: the Day of Capitulation. The terms of the instrument were duplicated in three languages. The English and Russian versions are the only ones officially recognized.
