That's also in Linebarger's Psychological Warfare book: they had a great deal of trouble in the mopping up because although Hitler had already realised in Feb 1943 how bad his situation was and the officer corps was certainly aware by Apr 1945 what was going down, the rank and file still held to their cause senselessly.
My father told me about celebrating 8 May 1945, and the russians (due to time zone?) still celebrate on 9 May, but killing prisoners and even getting yourself killed in Apr 1945 sounds like die NS-Jungs hatten eine sehr lange Leitung.

Stumpff's signature looks to still be in Sütterlin (with added "L" to make an official Luftwaffe, not personal, signature?); I can't even tell what script Zhukov signed in.
