General André Bourachot guides the Burgomaster, accompanied by a translator, Mrs. Boutler, to the second floor where the panels are presented, based on the data sent by the archivist of Mendig. The texts are written in both languages (French and German). The military objects found in the vicinity of this town and made available to us are displayed in two showcases. A bilingual list describes each of them.
