    The correct answer to this open question is the following.

    Shirer makes an effort to describe the interaction between the

    Germans and French as, "There are salutes, but no handshakes," because those were tense and difficult moments in which France was about to surrender to the Nazi troops and their generals. Shirer, a correspondent in the scene, describes the solemnity and protocol of the situation. The French Generals were solemn, and they expressed dignity in those tragic moments. On the other side were the German military officials Tippelskirch and Thomas. Then it is when Shirer wrote: "There are salutes, but no handshakes."

    William L. Shirer, a war correspondent, wrote the book "The Rise And Fall of the Third Reich," in 1960.
