Thanks for the post/video. Wonderful tribute to an era when the enemy believed in the same God as we did and humanity was able to sometimes able to shine through even in the horrors of war.

The Baron made Snoopy fly to the Rhine
And forced him to land behind the enemy lines
Snoopy was certain that this was the end
When the Baron cried out, "Merry Christmas, my friend"

The Baron then offered a holiday toast
And Snoopy, our hero, saluted his host
And then with a roar they were both on their way
Each knowing they'd meet on some other day.

> truces were not nearly as widespread as in 1914; this was, in part, due to strongly worded orders from the high commands of both sides prohibiting truces <

I’m not a big proponent of fragging. But high command fragging might have solved a lot of problems here.

I’ll probably get some grief for this but last Dr. Who Christmas special’s showing the truce was very good.

This was not repeated in the next three years. The chain of command on both sides was not amused.

Thank you for this beautiful reminder. Merry Christmas. :)
