Nazi Marshal Von Kleist Surrenders to U.S. Forces
German field marshal Paul von Kleist, commander of army group A, surrendered to the 26th Infantry Division of the U.S. Army on April 2 at Mitterfels after weeks of retreat. His surrender followed a failed first refusal and a later meeting with American privates who provided bread and water amid tense moments. Von Kleist, long allied with the invasion of Poland in 1939, aided the Nazi advance before the German retreat stalled.
