The Germans seem awfully happy to be surrendering to Americans. I wonder if they got to remain in American captivity?

They would probably not have remained in captivity for long. These German soldiers were fortunate. Most of those who surrendered to the Russians soon found themselves, in the words of Nikita Khrushchev, "in the cold Soviet ground."

What I meant was did the Americans turn them over to the Russians?
