Why did the Germans surrender in the movie ‘The Longest Day’?
assistant
The Germans surrendered because they were outnumbered and outgunned. The Allies had air superiority, and they had more tanks and planes than the Germans. The German army was also under-trained and under-equipped. The German army was unable to hold off the Allied forces for long, and the German commanders knew that they would be defeated if they didn't surrender.
