The Act of Surrender
The signing of the Act of Surrender took place at the Préfecture de police.
The signatories were
General von Choltitz,Général Leclerc,
and
Colonel Rol
of the FFI.
Rol's name was written (see the image above) into the document upon the insistance of Maurice Kriegel-Valrimont,
Communist member of the
COMAC
(Comité d'Action Militaire / Committee of Military Action).
The convenction itself does not mention the other Allies, but is rather an act between the
Governement Provisoire de la Republique Française
(Provisional Government of the French Republic)
and General von Choltitz, ``Military Commandant of the German Forces in the Paris Region.''
This was the only major surrender of the post D-Day Command in which the Allied principle
was not followed.
