It’s the night of December 24 1914 on the Western Front. The industrial might of the new 20th century has been focused into a war that has been going on for 8 months. Everyone thought it would be over by Christmas. The Christmas Truce is remembered as an incredible event where soldiers put aside their differences and united in peace and celebration.

I remember my great great grandfather who lived to the age of 109 telling me the story of the great Christmas truce. He was there on the German side, he was a machine gunner. He never forgot that day, he always told us that story on Christmas day, with a big smile on his face but also tears in his eyes when he got to the part of next year that I did not happen again, in a way in a story was a lesson behind every rifle is a person. Their people too, they have emotions ,feelings, empathy. Well there's a lot of bad in war, there's some good, whether we choose to see it or do it. I miss you so much grandpa Hubert. May you please rest in peace with your fellow brothers up in the gates of St Peter.

I’m fascinated by the Christmas truce. As both an Advanced English and Modern History student I am in sheer awe at the powerful nature of the human experiences of community, war and peace, morality. Amongst the cold regimented setting of war, soldiers go against general orders and celebrate what it is to be a human instead of a soldier. The history side is equally enthralling. There is a high level of respect for each culture and men were buried with honour. I am even intrigued at the mention of football games because I have heard time and time again from teachers that many sources are limited in reliability, that they are a niche event along the western front with many unable to be corroborated according to my teachers. It would be an honour to explore your methodology and “sources for your sources”

This is both one of my favourite and most depressing times in history. They soldiers called a truce for Christmas and almost immediately went back to fighting, the emotional pain they must’ve been feeling after singing, drinking, talking and playing games with their enemy all day must’ve been so hard on them. But then again, it also shows humanity at its best and worst in one day

There wqs a dialogue in Battlefield 1 that I think best fits here. "They pushed, we pushed. Every once in a while, we pushed hard enough, that the clouds break through the clouds and a world beyond the war glimmers, just out of reach. *Behind every gunsight is a human being*." The Christmas Truce in WW1 still reminds me that there is still some peace in the world, despite the chaos.

Such a beautiful story that will continue to astound generations to come. In the end, regardless of the label we are given, by ourselves or others, we are all human. We each have desires and consciences, and will act upon them, even when told not to. Thank you for bringing the full story into light.

I love the stories I hear about the Christmas truce. Such a fascinating thing to happen in war time. (didn't know about Hitler making that call tho!) It's a shame both sides didn't just stop the shooting right there. I read in a textbook somewhere after both sides returned to the trenches no one fired a shot the next day, and to this day no one knows who was the one to fire that first shot to reinitiate the fighting. Makes you wonder, why can't wars just be friendly games of soccer or paintball? Great video yarnhub! A wonderful early Christmas gift to see you guys comeback!

Silence Oh, I remember the silence On a cold winter day After many months on the battlefield And we were used to the violence Then all the cannons went silent And the snow fell Voices sang to me from no man's land We are all We are all We are all We are all friends And today we're all brothers Tonight we're all friends A moment of peace in a war that never ends Today we're all brothers We drink and unite Now Christmas has arrived and the snow turns the ground white Hear carols from the trenches We sing O Holy Night Our guns laid to rest among snowflakes A Christmas in the trenches A Christmas on the front far from home Madness (Madness) Oh, I remember the sadness (Sadness) We were hiding our tears (Hiding our tears) In a foreign land where we faced our fears (Faced our fears) We were soldiers (Soldiers) Carried the war on our shoulders (Shoulders) For our nations (Nations) Is that why we bury our friends? (Bury our friends) We were all We were all We were all We were all friends (Yes, we were friends) And today we're all brothers Tonight we're all friends A moment of peace in a war that never ends Today we're all brothers We drink and unite Now Christmas has arrived and the snow turns the ground white Hear carols from the trenches We sing O Holy Night Our guns laid to rest among snowflakes A Christmas in the trenches A Christmas on the front far from home We were all We were all We were all We were all friends (Yes, we were friends) And today we're all brothers Tonight we're all friends A moment of peace in a war that never ends Today we're all brothers We drink and unite Now Christmas has arrived and the snow turns the ground white A Christmas on the frontline We walk among our friends We don't think about tomorrow The battle will commence When we celebrated Christmas We thought about our friends Those who never made it home When the battle had commenced

I first read about the Christmas Truce in my 7th/8th/9th grade English Text book. It included a segment of a letter or diary of an English soldier's diary, where he recounts meeting a German soldier who he knew from having been neighbours. Truly this Truce is one of the most heartwarming yet heartbreaking stories in human history.
