Does anyone know exactly where on Lunebourg Heath that the surrender was signed, I mean coordinates preferably?
Just curious.
Thanks

Just outside a village called Wendisch Evern at the Timeloberg...Montgomery's GHQ.It was a partial surrender of the German troops on 4th May 1945. The British called it Victory Hill.
A bad translation here in Wikipedia

Thanks for this, luckily my wife is a German teacher and can tell me what it really says. What a rubbish translation, machines will never(?) replace humans.
I will go there sometime, looked before could not locate it.

Dreadful isn't it ? Mr.S is German and I am a half German and it makes us cringe to read these dreadful translations.Mr.S did his Wehrpflicht in the Luneberg Heide area.
Glad to have been of help. Good luck.
