English: Hitler (hand on side) and German high-ranked nazis and officers staring at WWI French marshall Maréchal Foch's memorial statue before entering the railway carriage in order to start the negotiations for the 1940 armistice at Rethondes in the Compiègne forest, France. The armistice will only be signed the next day (June 22), Hitler being absent, by General Keitel on the German side and by General Huntziger on the French side.
