Famous WW2 Quote
"All that silly talk about the advance of science and such leaves me cold. Give me peace and a retarded science."Thomas Dodd, late 1945

As far as I know, he was just an Army group commander at the time this picture was shot. He was leading the French delegation which had to meet the German and sign the armistice.
He became Secretary of war in the Vichy government, arguably after the armistice.
