Maxime Weygand, the french general who read the conditions of the 1918 armistice to the german delegation in a railway car in Compiegne, died only in 1965 at the age of 98 in Paris. He replaced Maurice Gamelin as CinC of the french army after Gamelin failed to stop the german army in May 1940. Weygand failed as well. Gamelin became CinC in the 30s, succeeding.....Weygand, but was heavily impaired in his ability to fulfill this role by suffering from an advanced stage of Syphilis.
