Then, in the same railway carriage in which the 1918 Armistice had been signed (removed from a museum building and placed exactly where it was in 1918), on 21 June 1940, Hitler sat in the same chair in which Marshal Ferdinand Foch had sat when he faced the representatives of the defeated German Empire.
I den selvsamme jernbanevogn, hvor våbenstilstanden var blevet underskrevet i 1918 (fjernet fra et museum og placeret på det præcis samme sted som i 1918), sad Hitler i den samme stol, som Marskal Foch havde siddet i, da han stod over for de besejrede tyske repræsentanter.
