The new Commander-in-Chief of the German Navy, Admiral General Hans-Georg von Friedeburg, and his delegation met with British officers from the staff of British Field Marshal Bernhard Montgomery here on May 4, 1945. The Germans were taken to the Timeloberg in Wendisch Evern near Lüneburg, where they had already been for preliminary negotiations the day before. Here, around 6 p.m., they signed the document declaring the unconditional surrender of all German troops on the western and northern flanks of the territory conquered by the British, namely northwest Germany, Denmark, and the Netherlands.
