Franco-German Ceremony in Verdun
French President François Mitterrand and Chancellor of Germany Helmut Kohl pay homage to fallen soldiers from the First World War at a Franco-German commemoration ceremony in Verdun. They stand in the front of the monument Douaumont, near Verdun. The hand in hand picture became an strong symbol for the French-German reconciliation over the following years.
