The crew of a french bunker of the Maginot Line surrenders to german troops in June 1940. The face of the french soldier in the center says it all. The french army was not a well motivated one, no comparisson to their fathers in 1914-1918. The german soldier on the right is wearing cotton bags to stash handgrenades.
