You saved me doing the research with this post. It people want more details, they are just going to have to get on a search engine and get to work. :)
Does anyone remember an OLD Reader's Digest story, "Truce in the Forest" or something with that title? I think it takes place in France, in maybe WWII, where the French family is hiding some American soldiers. Then the Germans come in, discover the Americans, but the wife tells them not to fight, but eat dinner together.
