the Christmas Truce

Guys, this video wasn't intended to be informational to the general public. It was just a prop in a high school English presentation. I'm not sure how it accumulated so many views, but chill out.

What a sad and pathetic thing to think you know everything, and to sit in shadow picking apart that which gives many warmth.

When will we learn that we are all one, under one GOD. When will we learn not to follow the intentions of the few that cause the SACRAFICE of the many. When will we learn to hear the voice of GOD and share our love for eachother with no malice, no manipulation, and no evil intent. These men in my opinion were used by GOD to send a message to all his creation that in only love and understanding will we defeat the evil that divides us. These men will be forever remembered as what we can achieve.

Mainly its because the governments use this idea of one god, one hashem, one allah, one true deity to whip normal working folk up into butchering each other. Personally I like the way the romans did things, they had there gods and the people under them had theirs. Roman soldiers got flogged for disrespecting gods in their own countrys. Greed is the cause of all war, religion and fearmongering is the call to arms.

OH GOD, the contradiction is beyond limits.

The soldiers did not hate each other,did not want to fight each other.

Only the headquarters did.

And the ones who will ever know what war is,is the soldiers who fight them...

They had a truce in the middle of World War I, where they played soccer and traded gifts, because it was Christmas and everyone was exhausted.

[Hitman0247]

yep.... I heard that the Germans offered cake to the British with a note offering a Ceasefire....

The British accepted and offered back Tobacco to the Germans.... and they all met around No Man's Land and played soccer and maybe cards or somthing

[Andiish08]

and the soccer match ended 3-2 in favour of the germans

[darthroden]

Its a damn pity all wars can't be fought over soccer games. I mean at most the men would get bruises, some cuts and possibly a broken arm or so at worst. No death, no fuss or muss....unless of course the British brought their fans to watch (LOL Just Kidding dudes).
