DescriptionA Swedish soldier and Norwegian resistance member shake hands at the border, celebrating the end of German occupation in Norway, Värmland Hedmark, 7 May 1945. (49129129873).jpg
German forces in Denmark surrendered on 5 May, and on the same day, General Eisenhower dispatched a telegram to resistance headquarters in Norway, which was passed on to General Franz Böhme; it contained information on how to make contact with Allied General Headquarters. Karl Dönitz dismissed Reichskommissar of Norway Josef Terboven from his post on 7 May, transferring his powers to General Böhme. At 21:10 on the same day, the German High Command ordered Böhme to follow the capitulation plans, he made a radio broadcast at 22:00 in which he declared that German forces in Norway would obey the capitulation orders.
