FRANCE-GERMANY-WWI-SARKOZY-MERKEL
German Chancellor Angela Merkel (R) and French President Nicolas Sarkozy observe a minute of silence 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.
