On May 2, the Soviets conquered Berlin. The Associated Press wrote, “Berlin, greatest city of the European Continent, fell yesterday afternoon to the Russians as 70,000 German troops laid down their arms in the surrender that Adolf Hitler had said never would come.”
Due to the failure of Nazi troops in Berlin and elsewhere, Dönitz and his fellow negotiators lost any leverage in asking for certain conditions in regard to the surrender. Dönitz therefore decided on May 7 to give in to Allied demands of unconditional surrender. The surrender was made official the following day with a signing at a formal ceremony. May 8 was declared Victory-in-Europe (V-E) Day, a day still celebrated as a public holiday in some European countries.

How and why did Czechoslovakia surrender to Hitler?
Before the German Army entered Czechoslovakia, the President of the country had fled to England and set up a government in exile, and the Slovaks had split off and become a separate country that was allies with the Germans. There was no Czechoslovakia left by the time the German troops entered the country. At the same time that German troops entered the former country of Czechoslovakia, there were also Polish and Hungarian troops that marched in because they wanted to take back their lands that had been part of the country of Czechoslovakia. The Czech part of the country became a German protectorate and the Polish and Hungarian land in the former Czechoslovakia became part of Poland and Hungary. The Sudentenland had already been given to Germany at the Munich conference because there were 3.5 million Germans in that area. So the answer to this question is that there was no surrender.
