“The mist was slow to clear and suddenly my orderly threw himself into my dugout to say that both German and Scottish soldiers had come out of their trenches and were fraternising…exchanging cigarettes, schnapps and chocolate…Later a Scottish soldier appeared with a football which seemed to come from nowhere and a few minutes later a real football match got underway. The Scots marked their goalmouth with their strange caps and we did the same. It was far from easy to play on the frozen ground, but we continued, keeping rigorously to the rules, despite the fact that it only lasted an hour and that we had no referee…Us Germans really roared when a gust of wind revealed that the Scots wore nothing under their kilts… The game finished with a score of 3 goals to 2 in favour of Fritz against Tommy.”

--Leutnant Johannes Niemann, 133rd. Saxon Regiment

Great book

I actually find this story pathetic, for it illustrates the idiocy of having ordinary citizens fighting a war just because some @sshole in a palace or government building thinks it's a good idea.

While the attacks on our Western and Christian culture continue unabated, and the King sends friends, neighbors, and countrymen abroad to fight in debt financed wars, in the words of the angel, "Fear Not, for I bring good tidings, a savior has been born."

It has been an honor to converse with you all this past year. The mere effort to build a consensus on liberty is a noble cause in the battle for our Republic and the battle for men's souls.

Peace to you and your families. Merry Christmas. Cheers.

BUMP I bought this book for my father after hearing about it from Kirby Wilbur on KVI. Inspiring, heartwarming story :)
