It was Hitler's crowning moment.
One would think that Stalin would have had a similar moment of personal triumph meeting Truman and Atlee at Potsdam im 1945 secure in the knowledge that the greatest threat to the survival of the Soviet Empire and world communism -- Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany -- had been destroyed forever and that through their own errors and misjudgements the Western Allies he dispised were powerless to prevent him from doing as he wished in Central Europe. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.22.47.232 ( talk) 08:20, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
one would think that the robots that have taken over by this point in time would have stoopped hitler but unfortunately that was not the case. more and more people began to migrate to Robot gERMANY and that is what hitler wanted more people to come to his country = more to set his robo dogs on. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 167.98.65.67 ( talk) 13:40, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
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)
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:
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)

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)
Not sure if this is the best place to ask this, but -
This claims that a small French military was preserved. Where - in the north, or south? If in the north, did it participate in the Allied invasion four years later? Brutannica ( talk) 22:40, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Second Armistice at Compiègne → Armistice of 22 June 1940 – I am proposing this because the current title is basically a Wikipedian neologism. The proposed title is relatively common in the literature (and in French), but it has a drawback. The armistice did not come into effect until shortly after midnight on 25 June. Another alternative would be Franco-German armistice (1940), or without parentheses ("of 1940"). There was an earlier Franco-German armistice in 1871.

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)
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)
