Susan Hibbert, who typed the English version of the German surrender document and then messaged London when World War II ended in Europe in 1945, has died at age 84.
Hibbert died Feb. 2, her family said.
As a staff sergeant in the Auxiliary Territorial Service, Hibbert — then Susan Heald — was assigned to type the English version of the surrender document, and retyped it several times as it was amended.
