@@IgneousKaiser In case you're interested, there was a truce between a small group of American and German soldiers on Christmas Eve of 1944. I think roughly 5 soldiers on each side. Some American soldiers stumbled across a civilian hut, in the Hürtgen forest, they needed the shelter for one of their wounded soldiers. A German civilian mother and her child were residing there and allowed them to take shelter there. Soon afterwards some German soldiers came by and a deal was made with the civilian that the German soldiers were also allowed to take shelter as long as they all left their weapons outside. They all celebrated Christmas Eve together and even became friends. One of the American soldiers and German soldiers kept in contact after the war.

He had written that letter to his wife Connie, and it was the last letter that he ever wrote to her. It was heart wrecking. The chapter is based on a book of the same name written by Michael Morpurgo. I loved that story. It was amazing! I still cry when i think about it.

It's stories like these that shows the tragedy of war It's always the average person that pays, not the politicians or high ranking officers who are somewhere safe and warm while people who probably don't even want war are sent into the meat grinder, kinda shows how unfair the world is.

Honestly, i closed my eyes for a minute, thinking of stock WWI photos, like i was a private;back against one side of the trench looking at the opposite wall. And letting the story form in my head. It honestly made me cry, thinking of how such a thing could happen and everybody on either side was up on no mans land. But it was everybody's land that day. Granted, all i have my imagination, but it moved me.
