United States military policemen reading about the German surrender in the Stars and Stripes newspaper (PD/U.S. Army personnel)

On May 7, 1945, after almost six years of brutal combat and untold death and destruction in the European Theater, German military leaders unconditionally surrendered to the Allies.

To commemorate the 80th anniversary of this significant event, historian Mitchell Yockelson discusses how the death of President Roosevelt, the decision by Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower not to enter Berlin before the Russians, the final battles, and the suicide of Adolf Hitler led to Nazi Germany’s capitulation.
