Erzberger: my son was killed, he feels no honour
The delegation argues over the harsh terms; Erzberger shuts down talk of honour and urges peace before more men die.
Foch rejects any compromise and the armistice is signed
Erzberger pleads for fairness or the peace will be hated; Foch refuses, and the ceasefire is set for eleven o'clock.
