You forgot to mention 'troop rotation". although it was several months into the war, soldiers would rotate between the front and backlines to prevent battle fatigue. There is even evidence that soldiers of this peaceful christmas never even seen thier buddies shot nor killed since they only seen artilary and dead on the feilds.

This type of stuff just fuels my belief that no matter who you're "fighting for", most guys are just regular joes who want to get back home alive, period. I have a personal story of this kind of thing. My grandfather was a teenager in the army during ww2. One of his duties while in europe was to guard german pow's. According to him, a lot of them were kids like he was who wanted the war to end just as badly as he did. One of them showed him how to play the harmonica. A lot of us are taught from a young age to believe that everyone under the enemy's flag is a monster when that just isn't the case. No matter where you go in history....ww2 era germany, civil war, modern day north korea, doesn't matter....there are plenty of people to be found who are just trying to get by and don't really have a dog in the fight at the end of the day. I always try to be mindful of that when someone tries to dehumanize an "enemy", historical or contemporary.

manifestgtr Your comment is inspirational.

Fact: A truce right before Christmas had also happened in WW2, right before the Battle of The Bulge, where many were spared because of friends in enemy lines. The truce was ordered by Lieutenant General Lukas Heinrich Kara (who was actually part of the Allied at the time) to another German Officer, who shall not be named. In which, only Lukas among the soldiers among the truce kept fighting WW2 until it ended, sparing and saving lives from both sides alike. Lukas died in 1962 finishing his own Christmas letter to all survivng German Soldiers of WW2 by a mistaken Russian Sniper. This is what Lukas had written; [ENGLISH] "Near this Christmas, I had ordered a truce that lasted only a few hours. It atleast spared alot of us from a certain death as I shook the hand of Captain Dieter Jansen. We all pointed our weapons to our officers who told us to keep fighting. We all exchanged our possessions as some officers even traded German Weapons with Allied Weapons. I'm finishing this letter right now in 1962 on the Berlin wall. I know that everybody who participated in the truce had survived the rest of the war, but I still think that I won't see them ever again in my lifetime. - LG Lukas H. Kara" [DEUSTCHE]"In der Nähe dieses Weihnachtsfestes hatte ich einen Waffenstillstand angeordnet, der nur wenige Stunden dauerte. Er hat zumindest viele von uns vor einem bestimmten Tod bewahrt, als ich Kapitän Dieter Jansen die Hand schüttelte. Wir alle richteten unsere Waffen auf unsere Offiziere, die uns sagten, wir sollten sie behalten Wir tauschten alle unsere Besitztümer aus, als einige Offiziere sogar deutsche Waffen mit alliierten Waffen tauschten. Ich beende diese Brief gerade 1962 an der Berliner Mauer. Ich weiß, dass jeder, der am Waffenstillstand teilgenommen hat, den Rest des Krieges überlebt hat. aber ich denke immer noch, dass ich sie in meinem Leben nie wieder sehen werde. - LG Lukas H.

Heck, the only reason America joined is because Germany wouldn't stop attacking our shipping with U-Boats (and done the Zimmerman Telegram). If the Germans hadn't panicked or been so overly aggressive, we probably never join in.

Lovely vid as always +Simple History and a great real story. Cheers. :)

Silence Oh, I remember the silence On a cold winter day After many months on the battlefield And we were used to the violence Then all the cannons went silent And the snow fell Voices sang to me from no man's land We are all We are all We are all We are all friends! And today we're all brothers Tonight we're all friends A moment of peace in a war that never ends Today we're all brothers We drink and unite Now Christmas has arrived and the snow turns the ground white Hear carols from the trenches We sing O Holy Night Our guns laid to rest among snowflakes A Christmas in the trenches A Christmas on the front far from home Madness (madness) Oh, I remember the sadness (Sadness) We were hiding our tears (Hiding our tears) In a foreign land where we faced our fears (Faced our fears) We were soldiers (Soldiers) Carried the war on our shoulders (Shoulders) For our nations (Nations) Is that why we bury our friends? (Bury our friends) We were all We were all We were all We were all friends (Yes, we were friends) And today we're all brothers Tonight we're all friends A moment of peace in a war that never ends Today we're all brothers We drink and unite Now Christmas has arrived and the snow turns the ground white Hear carols from the trenches We sing O Holy Night Our guns laid to rest among snowflakes A Christmas in the trenches A Christmas on the front far from home We were all We were all We were all We were all friends (Yes, we were friends) And today we're all brothers Tonight we're all friends A moment of peace in a war that never ends Today we're all brothers We drink and unite Now Christmas has arrived and the snow turns the ground white A Christmas on the frontline We walk among our friends We don't think about tomorrow The battle will commence When we celebrated Christmas We thought about our friends Those who never made it home When the battle had commenced

Thanks simple history 😄

I've recommended your videos in history classes and now i've seen in all classes we use your videos.

Germans: we want peace, please...? German officers: yea, go march in their way without weapons, hands up and play some games Allies: huh, that's weird they are marching toward without rifles. Allied Officers: meh, a trick maybe. Allies: nah, no guns there Germans: merry christmas bois! ya wanna play football? Allied Officers: meh, okay Allies: sure why not? Germans: cmon lets sing and play! Allies: yea this war is useless! Ottomans: i'm sad i can't join Germans: bring a few troops we don't care Ottomans: yay, but not my religion and i sitll don't care! All: *singing and playing football as well* Me: and that was the story of the 1914 christmas truce...imagine if the battlefield 1 servers did this hahah

You forgot the day after when a German soldier came back trying to extend the truce and a British officer shot him dead.

Religion be always in our soul because it created the Christmas spirit... If you're an atheist, christmas is empty and nothing because you don't even believe the existence of Jesus.

Muslims still fight each other, Buddhists fight each other, etc. No faith brings complete unification. Humans naturally conflict with each other and nothing will change that.
