    There was a French railcar in which the Germans surrendered in 1918, that Hitler had taken out of a museum for the French to surrender in in 1940. What happened to this railcar, is it still around?

    		Various answers. Hitler had it destroyed; Hitler had it taken to Berlin, where it was destroyed in a bombing raid; it's at Compiegne; a replica of it is at Compiegne. The rail-car at Compiegne IS a replica, so presumably one of the destruction stories is correct. Bit hard to find out, but I can't really see Hitler ordering it to be destroyed after that very classy downputting of the French Government. They would have liked to destroy it, probably. It didn't surface at the surrender of Germany at the end of WW II.

    		When the French surrendered to the Germans in 1940, they swapped seats to emphasise that the 1918 roles had been reversed.
    After that I'm not finding much good evidence of it being anywhere.
