Reims Celebrates Victory at Scene Of German Signing Reims, France (U.R) A proud but defeated German gen eral marched stiffly into a red brick schoolhouse here 10 years ago tomorrow and signed an end to the greatest war in hu man history. Col. -Gen. Gustav Jodl. the scowling chief of staff of the German army, scrawled his signature on the typewritten ar ticles of surrender ending the European phase of World War II at 2:41 a.m. (French time) on May 7, 1949 (5:41 p.m. May 6, Pacific War Time). As he signed, Adolph Hitler's blood - soaked dreams of empire vanished like a soap bubble. The Wahrmacht had been crushed. The tattered army, navy and air force of Nazi Germany was sur rendering unconditionally to the Allies. The war had flamed across the map of Europe for more than five years. The cost was 270, 000,000,000 and a generation still unborn will be paying for it. Uncounted millions of sol diers and civilians were killed. American casualties alone num bered more than half a million including 88,288 dead. . And almost 10 years to the day from the surrender, a new West Germany regained its place among the powers of the world. Ceremonies in Bonn yesterday returned sovereignty to Ger many. A rearmament program will begin immediately to raise a 500,000-man German army for defense against Communism. Here in Reims, as elsewhere in the world, the celebration of the victory was tempered by the memory of war. Church bells rang , out, but ceremonies at the surrender schoolhouse and at a new monument to "martyrs of the resistance" were attended by amputee veterans and widows and orphans." , The same bells in the Gothic towers of the 13th century Reims Cathedral rang out 10 years ago when word, swept through the city that a surrender had been signed during the night. No one except the highest Al lied leaders and Supreme Com mander Gen. Dwight D. Eisen hower knew what was taking place at the time. But at dawn everybody knew. They awoke a mother who had fallen asleep after giving birth to a child. When she was told what the " bells were for, she smiled down at her little girl and whispered, "You will re member this." She named the child "Victoire." Today 10-year-old Victoire Thaubauld and thousands of her fellow citizens watched a proces sion move to the schoolhouse. An urn. of ashes of Frenchmen who died in German concentra tion camps was to be installed there. . The "surrender room" on the second floor of the school, offi cially called the National Mod ern Technical College, is a shrine and nothing has been changed . Twenty - thousand tourists visit it every year A guide Is there to pick up a pointer like a general lecturing his staff and trace the course of the final cam paign on the original battle map pasted on the green walls.
