How much, if any, of the story is really true? Here, we speak to historians and researchers on how it all happened, and read letters from soldiers of both sides who bore witness to this remarkable moment of humanity during WW1.

World leaders should have to enlist and be in the front lines of any war they start.

In ancient times the Kings always led their armies into battle…I guess one day somebody figured that they were “much to important” and that ended that…

Wow Wes, I have never heard about this. I’m going to have my Rerik watch it. He’s a WWII history buff and I know he’d appreciate watching this about WWI. It’s amazing what happened there that day. A true Christmas spirit for sure. Thanks for sharing this.
