Musee de la Reddition

Literally - the museum of capitulation.

Fighting on the western front ceased with the signing of this document on 7 May 1945, in Reims.  The official document was signed again in Berlin, with Stalin's insistence and Eisenhower's presence.

The building.  It remains a school, but the signing rooms are a museum.




 The room and the table and chairs


The maps they used - all paper and thumb-tacks.  Oh for a spreadsheet!
