"Compiegne Forest, France, June 21 - Four French emissaries are shown about to enter the 1918 armistice care here today, where they heard Hitler give his terms for peace. Entering the car is a German officer who acted as escort. Several feet behind him is Gen. Charles Huntzinger of France, and in the center of the photo, behind the post, is Leon Noel of France. Toward the right are Gen. Jean Marie Bergeret and Rear Admiral Maurice Athanase Lelug. Unidentified German attendants are in the back of the officer entering th car and in back of Special Evoy Noel. Inside, they saw Hitler sit where Marshal Foch sat in 1918; and they heard Der Feuhrer demand a complete surrender of France."
