panzerbait Posted June 14, 2015 Share #1 Posted June 14, 2015 I'm fascinated by then and now photographs, especially those related to Normandy. I was asked on another post to put up some of my own then and now photographs, and I encourage anyone else with cool then and now Normandy photos to do the same!

willysmb44 Posted June 18, 2015 Share #24 Posted June 18, 2015 Just curious, that schoolhouse in Reims, is there any display or plaque stating where the surrender took place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panzerbait Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share #25 Posted June 19, 2015 The schoolhouse has a nice museum dedicated to the surrender. The room where the actual surrender took place has all the original maps, furniture, etc. that was there during the surrender. I'll post some then and now photos to show what it looked/looks like.
