"Luneberg Heath" should read Luneburg Heath.
"Montgomery invites the high ranking German officers including General-Admiral von Friedeberg and General Kienzl to sit down" - the five German officers seen around the table are;
Generaladmiral Hans-Georg von Friedeburg
General Eberhard Kinzel
Konteradmiral Gerhard Wagner
Oberst i. G. Fritz Poleck
Major Jochen Friedel
The full text of the surrender, as partly heard being read here by Montgomery, can be found here.....
