The Alsace-Lorraine monument and the railway carriage

A stone relief shows an eagle with outspread wings falling head first between the carved dates 1914 and 1918; Adolf Hitler, his arm raised in salute, walks with a naval officer and officers in peaked caps; in a round clearing surrounded by trees a railway carriage stands on its rails as uniformed men walk towards it. German newsreel footage. On 21 June 1940 Hitler received the French delegation in the clearing of Rethondes near Compiègne, in the carriage in which Germany had signed the armistice of 11 November 1918.
