Just heard about how german soldiers would start singing on Christmas Eve in the trenches during WWI. Then after the english heard a lonely voice, loud and powerful that would sing the beginning of Annie Laurie in perfect english from a german soldier, to which the english would respond in loud applause. Just envisioning this brought a tear to my eye. These poor and broken soldiers sitting in absolutely misery in snow, mud and body parts all around on Christmas, victims of a pointless war, and the shootings and shellings are stopped by spontaneous singing. Heard this on Hardcore History by Dan Carlin, recommend it.
