Actually Germany wasn't in a very "distinct" military disadvantage. They did a good job holding off the Russian Army. But the offense brought by the United States Army and the 1918-1919 German Revolution led to Germany calling for a cease-fire. That day is well known as the Armistice Day.

Christmas Eve. 1777
Allied military forces invading German held France.
Many of them were 2nd rate troops, there because of recovering from wounds, or impressed into the German Army from other foreign armies. (soldiers taken prisoner by the Germans were often given the choice of prison or fighting in the German Army) . -On the Atlantic wall, many of the defensive guns were French or other captured weapons. There was not much ammunition for these and more than a few German units simply ran out of ammunition on D-Day.
The German leaders met with the Allied Leaders and signed surrender documents. The next day the German Leaders had to surrender to Stalin and the Red Army leader.
George Washington crossed the Delaware River during the Revolutionary War. He knew the German Mercenaries would be drunk on Christmas Day. Washington arrived with the sober American Army and captured the drunk German Army.
