German Field Marshal Beaten With His Own Baton!

In May 1945, German Field Marshal Erhard Milch surrendered to British Commandos. During the course of the ceremony, he was severely beaten by an irate British brigadier - using Milch's own Field Marshal's baton. What could have caused this strange incident?
