Compiègne: the covered monument, Foch and a signature
A monument in a clearing is hung with the German war flag with its swastika and iron cross; a statue of a man in a long coat and kepi, apparently Marshal Ferdinand Foch, stands among dark trees; at a table in a dim room a man in uniform bends over a document and signs while others sit opposite. German newsreel footage. For the armistice ceremony of 21 and 22 June 1940 the Alsace-Lorraine monument at Rethondes was covered with German war flags; the statue of Foch was left standing.
