The speech of general Weygand. On 20th May 1940 Weygand became the commander of the Allied forces, but by then he was already fighting a lost war. Nevertheless he resisted till he was forced to sign the Armistice. His speech reads:

Officers, NCOs, soldiers

22.000 of your camerades have just ceased to resist on the Maginot line, five days after the entry into force of the Armistice.
Locked up and encircled in the works which they had to defend until the end, they didn't had to obligate the order to cease fire and refusing any communication with the adversary, continued until the French high command could inform them.
This page of vigilance and fidelity to the military duty is added to all those which you wrote. It constitutes the will of the army of today where those of tomorrow will find with the legacy of glory and the lessons of its predessors, the faith in its own destiny.
