There is a little book that contains some of the letters that these soldiers wrote to home about that truce. On amazon...Oh Holy Night: The Peace of 1914 or from the press, see my website. If anyone would like to read it via the pdf, I would be glad to send it.
@sdcoyote70 yay I'd love to read it - do I have to give email address or will it com e naturally? anyways mongrielle@gmail.com is one - thanks! danke! merci!
Yes, well done! There is a UK website dedicated to the memory of that Christmas truce. They have many of the letters that those soldiers wrote to home describing their experience. It is at christmastruce dotCO dotUK There is also a picture of my book, oh holy night, there which is about that truce.
@kevinjjfr Statistically, the americans lost about 110,000. The British lost 1.1 million in military deaths, and france 1.3 million military deaths! Though the yanks did do some work, it was Europe as a whole that suffered. Heavily.
@kevinjjfr And almost no one says anything about our brave little country , Belgium. We stopped them together with allies. We never surrendered. Even in the second WW we held out almost as long as France.Americans did a great job, it's just a pity that you had bad generals: About 500 doughboys died the last day of the war, because the generals wanted some honour for themselfs. Here near Ypres the war is still alive. Our little country is filled with death soldiers.
@Rapido2101 got to admit the Germans in WWI really thought they would talk threw peacefully, sure gave them a shock, AND got the UK into the war, which in the end kinda of saves it for our side, nice chin reaction dont you think?
@claus5tal you really dont know what your talking about if you dont agree....Germans there who refused to surrender to the resistance had to call a cease fire with the locals, till 500 men could make a 2 week trek to get there to officially accept their surrender. so yes yes they did have a good resistance...read the book "that Denmark might live" , or Google "Churchill Club"
@Rapido2101 Theres alot of USA anger WWI...we were 2million building up to 5 million but someone settled for armistice instead of ending the war in Berlin... there were new munitions already on the docks of Brest...
crates of Thompsons, Browning auto rifle, etc...to increase and improve US offensive power...production lines of aircraft swelled after cylinder production bottleneck was fixed by US manufacturers.. too bad crushed German military and no WWII in 1939...

Great film, however music you have with it, does the historical nature of the period no justice...

Nothing but respect for the Belgian troops in WWI. They fought heroicly, perhaps the bravest in all the war, for the defence of their country.
