FRANCE-GERMANY-WWI-SARKOZY-MERKEL
German Chancellor Angela Merkel (2ndR) and French President Nicolas Sarkozy (C), lay a wreath of flowers at the Tomb of Unknown soldier during Armistice Day ceremonies on November 11, 2009 at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. German leaders have attended Armistice Day events in France before -- most notably when chancellor Helmut Kohl took president Francois Mitterrand's hand in Verdun, the scene of one of the fiercest battles of the 1914-18 war. But Merkel's visit will be the first time a German leader has attended the Paris ceremonies marking the surrender of Germany after four years of trench warfare that left millions dead.
