A Sign Of Friendship In The Midst Of War I THE CHRISTMAS TRUCE 1914
Initially, everyone believed that this war would be over by Christmas, but on Christmas Eve 1914, soldiers were still facing each other in France, Belgium, throughout Eastern Europe, and all of the other theatres of war. But instead of shooting at each other, quite a few soldiers decided to sing and celebrate this night with their enemies. This happened in many places on the Western Front, and the commanding officers were not happy about it. In future, they would see to it that it did not happen again.

I hope everyone who was responsible for starting that stupid war are roasting in Hell. There were no good guys in that war.
