General Eisenhower signed with the new German government

Neither Eisenhower nor the new Reichspresident signed anything. Depending on which signing you're talking about most folks agree it was Jodl who signed for Germany and Beddle Smith, Eisenhower's second in command of SHAEF. Neither Admiral Dönitz, the President of Germany nor Eisenhower signed a thing.
