Показать описание
In the final days of World War II, Admiral Karl Dönitz led the Flensburg government, focusing on negotiating Germany's surrender to the Western Allies while trying to avoid Soviet occupation. After signing the unconditional surrender on May 7, 1945, Dönitz briefly continued to oversee the government until British forces arrested him and his cabinet on May 23, 1945, effectively ending Nazi rule. He was later tried at the Nuremberg Trials and sentenced to 10 years in prison.

Donitz was one of the very few German Generals who was able to go free and tell his tale

The Allies were right to insist on unconditional surrender. The Nazis had never behaved honourably through the war, and their treatment of people within their borders was appalling. They didn’t warrant the right to name conditions.
