Michiel 2005's photos with the keyword: 1940

The German gang looking at the spot where the German train stood in 1918.

The railway carriage has been removed from the museum building, the French had to sign their surrender there. After the signing, the whole memorial was removed, only the statue of general Foch was left standing. The carriage was moved to Germany where it was displayed. It burnt down in 1945. The memorial was restored.

My movie of this oldtimer day can be seen on You Tube .

A 1940 nickel is worth a couple of bucks in today's money
