Germany finally surrendered on May 7, 1945, effectively ending World War II in Europe. The surrender was signed by German Chief of Staff General Alfred Jodl at Allied headquarters in Reims, France. This capitulation came after the defeat of German forces and the fall of Berlin to the Soviet Army. The official announcement of the surrender was made on May 8, which is now celebrated as Victory in Europe (VE) Day.
