The railway carriage
11 Nov 1918, 05:00 — In Foch’s dining car in the forest of Compiègne, Germany signs. The guns stop at 11:00. In 1940 Hitler will make France surrender in the same carriage — chosen for exactly that memory.
This is one scene of Chapter 11 — Armistice in The Great War, 1914–1918.
