RE: What do my friends know about 1918? Not much--but they have questions
In the 11 November 1918 there was take place the "Compiègne Armistice" in which an obscure deutsch official Matthias Erzberger signed very heavy conditions as surrender for Germany. This surrender document was signed inside a train wagon in the middle of a forest. M. Erzberger will be one of the first victims of the Nazi revolution some years after, being killed as (according to Nazis) a traitor of Germany. That wagon was brought by French inside a museum in Paris. Some years after Hitler invaded the France and forced the French to put again that wagon in the middle of the Compiègne forest and forced them to sign their surrender there. After that he filled the wagon with dynamite and blew it up.
