I'm guessing these are German planes that landed at an Allied field to surrender.

I believe that video is 8-May-1945 with a mass surrender of Luftwaffe forces to the American 10th Photo Recon Group that was operating near Fürth. Some nice birds going to the scrap heap in the video. Fw-190D-9 Wk.Nr. 211934 II/JG 6 and Fw-190D-9 Wk.Nr 500570 II/JG 6.

One of the US Army guys had one of those 1918 brass knuckle fighting knives on his right hip.

I really don't think that's the case.

During his surrender flight, Rudel intentionally ground looped his aircraft at Kitzingen, the airfield being occupied by a Thunderbolt group, the 405th.

Check for yourself if anything from the video matches up with pics from those who were present at Rudel's arrival:
