On 9 May 1945, General Ivan Bagramyan accepted the surrender of German forces at Ezere Manor in southwest Latvia.[citation needed] According to Russian records, 146,000 German and Latvian troops were taken prisoner, including 28 generals and 5,083 officers,[1] and taken to camps in the USSR interior and imprisoned for years. Current scholarship puts the count of those surrendering at more than 200,000:[2] 189,112 Germans including 42 generals—among them the German commander, Carl Hilpert, who was subsequently executed by Soviets in 1947[12]—and approximately 14,000 Latvians.[16]
