Adolf Hitler made a short early-morning tour of Paris after France signed an armistice with Germany in June 1940. He was accompanied by architect Albert Speer, sculptor Arno Breker and members of his entourage.

Heinrich Hoffmann photographed Hitler on the Trocadéro terrace with Speer to his left, Breker to his right and the Eiffel Tower in the background. Hitler did not go up the tower during the visit. Most accounts date the tour to June 23, 1940, the day after the armistice was signed. Accounts differ, however, with Speer's memoir placing the visit on June 28 while Breker and Hermann Giesler gave June 23.
