		Von Choltitz took the two SS officers to his balcony and, gesturing towards the Louvre, told them that the tapestry was being kept in a basement there.

		The two SS men reflected for a moment before deciding that it would be better to depart empty-handed, for, as von Choltitz later remarked, the courage of their hearts did not quite live up to the brilliance of their uniforms.

	Der Zweite Weltkrieg
		Zur Verfolgung und Vernichtung von Juden sowie von Angehörigen der polnischen Führungsschicht, des Adels und des Klerus wurden "Einsatzgruppen" aus Angehörigen der Geheimen Staatspolizei (Gestapo), des Sicherheitsdienstes (SD), der Schutzstaffel (SS) und der Polizei gebildet.
		Doch nach der "Wannsee-Konferenz" vom Januar 1942 wurde die Kriegführung noch stärker von dem bereits zuvor beschlossenen Völkermord an den Juden überlagert.
		Millionenfach stand die Bevölkerung, von einem Heer aus Spitzeln und Denunzianten überwacht, nach rationierten Lebensmitteln an, und auch noch ab 1943 vernahm sie in den Volksempfängern die Siegesmeldungen der Wehrmachtsberichte, denen jedoch immer weniger Menschen Glauben schenkten.

		The plaque at the Gare Montparnasse commemorating the surrender of German forces in the city on Aug. 25, 1944, is both wrongly placed--it is situated at the base of the (ugly) Montparnasse office tower, some 300 yards from the train station where French Gen. Philippe Leclerc had his headquarters--and misleadingly worded.
		Von Choltitz, the German commander, surrendered at the Prefecture de Police across the square from Notre Dame, not at the train station as the plaque suggests.
		There is nothing to mark this aspect of the hotel's history, and if guests ask to stay in the general's old quarters, as some used to do in the Watergate burglars' suite at the old Howard Johnson Motor Lodge in Washington, the discreet hotel staff isn't saying.
