Christmas Truce - 1914

Many moving stories of the Christmas Truce of 1914.  100 years ago.

Just one of the stories here.

Men stopped killing each other, came out of their trenches and shook hands in peace.

It was not what their superiors condoned.

It was the Christmas Miracle of 1914.  This is the Time story of what really happened 100 years ago.
Wikipedia description here.

Peace on earth to men of good will.  My father always emphasized that it was the correct way to say what the angels proclaimed, not the alternate proclamation: "Peace on earth good will toward man".

I firmly believe that if all that have died in war could come back to life there would be no more war.
