The Armistice was signed in a railroad car on a siding in the Compiegne Forest. The train car was put in a museum, but Hitler had it hauled out when the Germans conquered France and made the French sign their WWII surrender to Germany in the same train car. In order to avoid possibly being forced to sign another humiliating document in this car, the Germans dynamited the car near the end of WWII. There are several memorials in the Forest, including a replica train car, where the Armistice was signed.
