Talk:Armistice of 22 June 1940

message: It was Hitler's crowning moment.
: Quite. Hitler must have been the happiest person in the world at that moment; his entire life vindicated. It must have been fantastic to be him on this day. His pores must have exuded triumph, power and sexual energy. None of the other dictators or political leaders in the entire century could have had such a moment of personal triumph. Their enemies were either diffuse, imaginary, or died off-stage. I imagine Eva Braun's orifice was sore for days afterwards. Perhaps this day was one of the great cusps of history, and if Hitler's life story is treated as an epic tragedy this must be akin to the infinitesimally brief moment when King Arthur had everything lined up, just right. -Ashley Pomeroy 12:47, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

message: Who was in the carriage? In the Wochenau newsreel, Hitler and Keitel are named on the German side, Huntziger on the French side. Who else was there, and what were their jobs?
I would be interested to know who the fat civilian was with the hat, on the French side. He looked unhappy about something (g). 24.130.15.8 (talk) 09:37, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Surrender Delegations

message: Four articles I've looked at have disagreements in the timeline in June 1940 of the armistice being signed and France surrendering. The article Timeline of World War II#June gives the following:
* June 21: Franco-German armistice negotiations begin at Compiegne.
* June 22: Franco-German armistice signed.
* June 24: France officially surrenders to Germany; Franco-Italian armistice signed.
This disagrees with Armistice with France (Second Compiègne) which currently says the Armistice was signed on June 21. The article Battle of France currently states that France surrendered on June 25, as does the article Military history of France during World War II#Aftermath. I don't know which is correct, so I won't make any changes, but somebody should sort this out and find the correct dates, and then ensure that these four articles are mutually consistent. --Mathew5000 19:09, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The armistice with Germany was signed on 22 June, 18:50. In it Article 23 stipulated that it would come into force six hours after an armistice was signed with Italy. The armistice with Italy was signed on 24 June, 18:35 (19:35 in Rome). Thus at 0:35 on 25 June the French Army surrendered. So there was no armistice as opposed to a capitulation: they were two aspects of the same act.--MWAK 19:58, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

message: The article on Andrew Cunningham, 1st Viscount Cunningham of Hyndhope (featured today on the front page) links to this article with the link text "Fall of France". Now it seems to me (as someone unfamiliar with detail on WWII) that although Wikipedia identifies this as an alternative name for the Battle of France (in the article of the same name), the Cunningham article is right in discursively referring to the consequent armistice as being relevant part of the Fall in that context. However, this article doesn't refer to that term at all, which is confusing when it's the subject of a link of that description. Could someone who know their stuff find an appropriate way to add to the article that this is a term which is in use in relation to the Armistice? BigBlueFish (talk) 01:54, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  "fermented the war" 

message: The article says "As one of Hitler's few concessions, the French Navy was to be disarmed but not surrendered, for Hitler realized that pushing France too far could result in France fighting on from the French colonial empire. "
There is no source.
You can easily see why a decision would be made but there is not proof Hitler made that decision or that he did for that reason. There isn't even proof that it was a concession and not a starting point.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Warmallis0n (talk • contribs) 07:42, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

message: This article needs expansion or reorganization, in order to have sections on core features of the Armistice, such as the colonial empire, the payment of costs of occupation, and retention of the French fleet. Mathglot (talk) 19:27, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
