Wilhelm Keitel

Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel was a high-ranking military officer of Nazi Germany.

On 9 May 1945, Keitel met with Marshal Georgi K Zhukov of the Soviet Union. Keitel signed the documents of Germany's unconditional surrender, bringing World War II in Europe to a close and signalling the complete destruction of the Third Reich.
