France signed an Armistice with Germany in the exact location where Germany had been humiliated by France in 1918.
Hitler met the French in the same railway carriage in which the 1918 Armistice was signed (removed from a museum and placed in the precise spot where it was located in 1918) and sat in the same chair in which Marshal Foch had sat. Hitler left the carriage after the reading of the Preamble in a calculated gesture of disdain to the French delegates.
Above, General Charles Huntizer signs on behalf of France.
Below, actual footage of Hitler visiting Paris on the same day.
