Testimony of the interpreter of the armistice of 21 June 1940

Paul-Otto SCHMIDT, the German interpreter present at the armistice of 21 June 1940 in the wagon of Rethondes, testifies to the time when he listened to the telephone call of General Huntziger to General Weygand to inform him of the conditions of the armistice "hard enough but there’s nothing against honor". He explains that the French were forced to sign this agreement.
