I've often wondered; do the instruments of surrender of the following conflicts still exist and if so, where are they?

* Versailles 1919
* France 1940
* Germany 1945
* Japan 1945

There's a copy of the Japanese surrender document in the Simon's Town naval museum.
Most unimpressive document!

Lacks a sense of grandeur, I suppose. I have not got a very good image of it - totally out of focus but I'll post what I have and you can judge.

None of those looks like the one I posted! Ah well, maybe Kremlin will clear it up!
