What were the surrender conditions for Germany at the end of World War 2?

At the end of World War II, Germany's surrender conditions were outlined in the unconditional surrender policy agreed upon by the Allies. This meant that Germany had to surrender without any negotiation or terms, leading to the complete disbanding of its military forces and the occupation of its territory by Allied forces. The Allies demanded the dismantling of the Nazi regime, accountability for war crimes, and the establishment of democratic governance in Germany. Additionally, the country was divided into occupation zones controlled by the United States, the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union, and France.


What is an example of an total war?

World War II, the American Civil War and the French Revolution are examples of "total war". The enemy had to be annihilated, and no "terms of surrender" were allowed; surrender had to be unconditional. The defeated had no say at all in what happened next. During the American Civil War, Sherman's "March to the Sea" cut the Confederacy in half; the city of Atlanta was burned to the ground. In World War II, all of Germany was devastated. In Japan, most Japanese cities were fire-bombed, and two cities were destroyed with nuclear weapons.
