That picture is of the surrender of the German forces in Northwest Germany/Netherlands/Denmark (What was left of them after the Ruhr Pocket, that is), the final official surrender of German forces was signed on the 7th and 8th and the last organized resistance surrendered on the 12th at the end of the Prague Offensive.

Why is it that Germans always seem tall and British people short?

During the article it points out that all the German Staff at well over 6 ft dwarf Montgomery and his staff.
