Do you mean to say that Germany surrendered to you? Are you absolutely sure they've given up and they're not a government-in-exile? If they're still listed as part of the Axis in the diplomacy screen, that would mean they're a government-in-exile and you or someone else'll have to defeat the entire Axis before you can create the DDR.
I had the opposite problem. In a game as the USA with the USA in the Allies, I liberated all of Europe, including the Balkans, Romania, Poland and Lithuania. The SU did not enter even a single province outside if it's starting borders except for Karelia, Estonia and part of Latvia. When Germany surrendered Poland went Comintern as did the FDR...yes FDR. The DDR did not come into existence, instead the whole of Germany got listed in the Comintern. I would've fought the Ruskies then and there but most of my army was out of supply because it was "in another country"......
Shrug and say, "C'est la vie," before starting a new game...
Really, there have been tons of problems with scripting surrender events... The issue is that if the game goes ahistorically, then why should anyone expect a historical outcome? PI has to balance between their ability to build a sandbox game set in the 'historical' World War II period, or a simulation of World War II, and have the outcome never in doubt.
Really, if you've beaten Germany as the Soviet Union, then you've won. Go forth and spread that Red Banner to the rest of the world, or just start a new game as someone else.

Heck, it's what I do constantly... just thought it'd be humorous to put it that way considering a french guy is asking!
No, it'll keep happening, you just have to be aware that while an amazing game, there are limitations to anything.
Yes. PI is working on several fixes. One being the bugged Soviet/Finland Winter War.
In one game, playing as Germany (beta patch 3.031b) the Soviet Union declared war on me (no Barbarossa) while their winter war with Finland was in progress. I took provinces way past Moscow and Stalingrad and thought the Bitter Peace would fire. Instead, I get a pop up message (with Soviet flags instead of German) from my Foreign Minister saying that acquire territory from Finland is enforced. Magically, Soviet Union gets ALL of the provinces I had just conquered from them back and all my forces that were attacking are stuck in country making their way back to Germany.
Talk about an immersion killer! So, the surrender "events" are still very much a work in progress. Perhaps in a few months it will be working properly and our patience will be rewarded.

Did you add any war goals? If not then you would not get anything when they surrender.
Then IMHO the war goals system needs to be scrapped or reworked, because what he described should not happen.
The surrender events have been an issue since HoI1, iirc. Think of one player playing 10 different countries, 10 times. That ends up with nearly 100 different possibilities of surrender events that could need to be scripted. You think that they have time for that? There is no way that every eventuality can be covered. It then makes a bit more sense then to have the war goals which will focus not only player strategy and efforts but also the AI's, and hopefully bring something that could be used to cover the most prevalent surrenders.
Well, if the scenario starts in '46, the game assumes a historical path, your game nonwithstanding...
Also, if you're playing as the Soviet Union, and you liberate all of Germany, unless you release the DDR as a puppet, it's not going to form... also, it's not going to form "East Germany" as you own all of it...
