As far as history is concerned, VE Day is May 8th 1945, not the 4th.

All German troops in Denmark holland official surrendered to the English on the morning of 5 May 1945, except for those stationed on Bornholm which lay within the Soviet theatre of operations. The island was not liberated until 8 May 1945.

by that ending the war in northen part of eu.


time line:

On 3 May 1945 the allies captured Hamburg and Oldenburg effectively ending any hopes the Germans may have had of retiring into Denmark or Norway. On this date Germany then sent a mission to Field Marshall Montgomery, headed by Admiral von Friedeberg, commander of the German Navy. The admiral requested Montgomery to accept the surrender of three German armies retreating before the Russians. Montgomery replied, "No, certainly not. Those armies are fighting the Russians ... I have nothing to do with happenings in the Eastern front. You must surrender to the Soviet commander ...". Montgomery then asked them if they were prepared to surrender their forces in the northwest including Denmark and Holland. After an extensive situation briefing by Montgomery this was agreed to.

At 0800 hours 5 May 1945 German forces in the Netherlands, Denmark and North-West Germany surrendered to 1 Canadian Corps. That afternoon, at Wageninggen, Holland, Colonel General Von Blaskowitz formally surrendered his 120,000 men to General Charles Foulkes, Commander 1st Canadian Corps.


the official dokument follows:
