The footage of the german surrender begins at 00:43.
A clapperboard tells us that the footage is shot by the 163rd Signal Photo Company, and that the location is Innsbruck.
The footage was shot on May 5 1945.
"Various shots of German and American officers signing documents" - signing at 01:14 is General Erich Brandenberger.
Signing at 01:43 is General Edward H. Brooks. (Note that these two names eliminate two of the names currently given in the last paragraph).
"Various shots of the American troops lined up in front of the building" - that's the Gauhaus, in Innsbruck, where the documents were signed.
