Well, one of my favorites. It is the story from WW2 and the Battle of the Bulge where US and Germans got together.

Merry Christmas to you all.

May god turn his face towards you. May he smile upon you. May he whisper words of wisdom to you, And may his hands gently guide you upon your ways.

I read a story somewhere that German and British soldiers climbed out of trenches in WWI and played soccer on Christmas.

True and not a story. They actually did that much to the aggravation of their superiors.

Oh wait, so sorry. I thought this was the Favorite Christmas Movie thread.

I actually didn’t look at your link as I am at Walgreens and people would think I was crazy.

Doubtful. The Germans were too busy machine gunning American prisoners at Malmedy.

There is also the true story of US and Germans getting together to liberate a castle in Austria at the end of that war.

The Germans helped fight off the SS there.

Thats OK. Watch it if you get the chance. Gets pretty intense for a few times.
