Whilst currently described as being either Norway or Denmark, certainly all of the film up till at least the 8:45 time point is shot in Berlin, and details the German surrender on May 8/9 1945.
The man at 0:30 is former Chief of Staff Field Marshall Wilhelm Keitel.
At 0:42 we see the ruins of the Reichstag building.
The man at 0:48 is Carl Spaatz of the US 8th Air Force.
At 0:54, General Georgy Zhukov of the Russian Army.
At 1:26, Air Chief Marshall Arthur Tedder.
The building at 3:55 was that being use as the headquarters of the Soviet Military Administration in Germany, at Karlhorst, Berlin, (now the German_Russian Museum).
There man on the left at 4:30 is Jean de Lattre de Tassigny.

The later footage is at least largely shot in Denmark, with Danish flags visible at 11:43 and 12:08, and then at 14:15 a woman holding a picture of Montgomery emblazoned with the words "Welcome to Denmark".
It's possible that some of the shots at the end of the footage, of German soldiers and ships, MIGHT be in Norway.
