Armistice with France Second Compiègne - Destruction of Compiègne
The Armistice site was demolished by the Germans at Hitler's order three days later. The carriage itself was taken to Berlin as a trophy of war (where it was destroyed in 1945), along with pieces of a large stone tablet which bore the inscription (in French):
HERE ON THE ELEVENTH OF NOVEMBER 1918 SUCCUMBED THE CRIMINAL PRIDE OF THE GERMAN REICH. VANQUISHED BY THE FREE PEOPLES WHICH IT TRIED TO ENSLAVE.
The Alsace-Lorraine Monument (depicting a German eagle immolated by a sword) was destroyed and all evidence of the site was obliterated, with the notable exception of the statue of Marshal Foch: Hitler intentionally ordered it to be left intact so that it would be honoring only a wasteland. After the war, the stone tablet's pieces were recovered and reassembled, and a replica of the railway carriage placed at the restored site.
