In May 1945, Germany signed an unconditional surrender, effectively ending World War II in Europe. The surrender was signed by representatives of the German High Command, including General Alfred Jodl, and Allied leaders, with the most notable being General Dwight D. Eisenhower, who represented the Allied forces. The formal signing took place on May 7 and was ratified on May 8, which is celebrated as Victory in Europe (VE) Day.
