Anecdote: A bitter historical turning point occurred in 1940, when Adolf Hitler chose the exact same spot to sign the French surrender to Nazi Germany — in the same train car. He literally reenacted the 1918 scene, but with the roles reversed. Shortly afterwards, he had the car shipped to Berlin as a trophy. The site was partly destroyed, but was redeveloped as a memorial site after the war.

The Clairière de l'Armistice, or Armistice Place, is a clearing deep in the Compiègne Forest in northern France. It was here that the armistice ending World War I was signed on 11 November 1918. The signing took place in a railway carriage belonging to Marshal Foch, who had been brought to this remote location especially for discretion.
