- dthrough a revolution in Germanydurch eine Revolution in Deutschland
Why?
The war in Europe officially ended with the unconditional surrender of the German armed forces (Wehrmacht) on 8 May 1945. Unconditional means without any conditions – Germany had to give up completely. Hitler's death on 30 April 1945 did not yet end the war.
