TOP SECRET FOR MATTHEWS FROM MURPHY
Field Marshal Jodl arrived at SHAEF this afternoon
from 2lst Army Group headquarters, He is understood to
possess full powers for the surrender of German forces.
SHAEF officers are inclined to be optimistic of a
successful outcome and the first impression they have is
that the Germans have decided upon unconditional surrender
and that their primary concern is to save as many of thoir
forces as possible from falling into Russian hands. The
surrender will embrace the entire area north and south
and I believe it will be signed Sunday night or Monday
morning,
