Admiral Karl Donitz of the German Navy surrendered the Third Reich. It would have fallen on Hermann Goering, but Hitler was outraged when he learned that Goering had already surrendered himself to the Allies.

Hitler probably expected Donitz to fight to the end, but after Hitler's suicide Donitz immediately went about the task of surrender.

This was probably a poor decision on Hitler's part - Donitz capitulated with the Allies just 9 days later.
