At the conclusion of World War II, the Germans surrendered on May 7, 1945, for two reasons. The first was that they had finally been overrun by Allied armies from both east and west and were unable to maintain a cohesive defense. The second is that Hitler's death had finally released German leadership from the obligation to continue the suicidal struggle: saner leadership recognized the need to surrender.
Since the Germans were still spread out in pockets of resistance, they surrendered to whatever allied force was around.
