Summary:Paris on December 6 1938 - French and German diplomats arrive for the signing of a peace pact between the two nations. It was a hollow ceremony - France and Germany were at war ten months later - but it was engineered by Nazi Germany's Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop to buy a little more time before Hitler went to war. Signing for France was his counterpart, Georges Bonnet.
