In February 1945, General Eisenhower established his headquarters at the Modern and Technical College in Reims, and in the Reddition Hall, the unconditional surrender of the armed forces of the Third Reich was signed on May 7 at 2:41 am, ending World War II in Europe. In 2005, a museum was established around this historic room, which has been preserved in its original condition, and today the museum displays more than fifty original exhibits.
