Germany agreed to peace terms on November 11, 1918, a few days after this report of the “fake armistice” and how it was celebrated locally, appearing in the November 8 issue of The Odessa Record. Perhaps it was just a trifle premature, but the celebration of the reported signing of a peace armistice yesterday brought for...
