Cobi Compiègne Wagon 1940 / 2030 pcs

The former dining and later salon car of the Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits numbered 2419 D served as the location where the armistice between the German Empire and the Entente powers (United Kingdom, France, Russia) was signed on November 11, 1918, officially ending World War I. The car became part of a command train for the General Staff of Marshal Ferdinand Foch, the Supreme Commander of the Entente, in the fall of 1918, serving as his office. This is where the First Armistice of Compiègne was signed. In this very car, the Second Armistice of Compiègne was also signed on June 22, 1940, this time between the Nazi German Reich and France. Hitler had the car specially retrieved from the Clairière de l'Armistice Museum in Rethondes, where it had been housed since November 11, 1927. The car was then transported to Germany, where it was presumably destroyed sometime in March or April 1945 near Crawinkel in Thuringia. Model with 2030 pieces, 3 figures, and printed blocks. Model dimensions (LxWxH): 66.7 x 10.5 x 14 cm.
