EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, General Kinzel, a German General of Infantry, is seen putting his signature to the surrender document of the German land, sea, and air forces in Northern Germany, Holland, and Denmark. Standing next to him is British Field Marshal Montgomery, who looks down towards the document as it is signed. This powerful image captures a significant moment in history when Germany surrendered to the allied forces on May 8th, 1945. The signing of this document marked the end of World War II in Europe which had been declared on September 2nd, 1939. It is worth noting that this particular picture was taken four days before the actual surrender took place. The photographer behind this remarkable shot is Edward Malindine from the former Daily Herald Newspaper's Film and Photography Section for the 5th Army Official. The photo showcases General Kinzel wearing his military uniform with a beret while sitting at a table inside a tent. With great attention to detail, one can observe various elements such as crests and insignias adorning their uniforms. This print serves as an important reminder of the sacrifices made during World War II and stands as a testament to both victory and peace achieved through collaboration between nations.
