very unpopular opinion but this is why i don't think women should serve in the military, who's at home to keep society running? to protect and encourage us to keep going if our wives and daughters are also dying in the war? can you imagine being a soldier sent to kill the enemy and they make you shoot a woman? that would make the guilt even worse, it's bad enough that men need to experience this crap, the least a civilized military can do is make sure women aren't subjected to this too
Part of what made the truce so successful and heartwarming, is that most Germans at the time had either worked or studied in Britain so they had a basic understanding of English.

@@Easternboy30 the point is most of those men didn’t want to be there and they were drafted to the war, because of the politicians that started the war.
This is one of my favorite historical stories that ever happened it shows you that no matter what battle we are in there is some glimpse of humanity left in all of us, another great story is a movie called the pianist. A German soldier fed and kept safe a Jewish pianist till the war was over he even gave him his coat to keep warm when the German soldiers fled
My great grandfather told my mother “when we met the Germans we thought we would die but all men are men and together they are brothers and no one deserves to die that was my great grandfathers last words and when my grandfather fought in ww2 he told me that when he flew his bomber to Berlin he saw the terror and fear of the soldiers he let them escape before he dropped the bombs he truly was a great man rip
My great great great grandfather was actually at this when it happened in real life (December 24-26, 1914), and he told the story every year on the same day for 77 years until his death in 1989(age 97), but even now in 2023(almost 2024), nearly 35 years after his death, my family still tells the story of those 2 days, out of respect for him and the soldiers (on both the British and German sides) who just wanted a few days of peace during a time of brutal and bloody war and conflict And as you said, “divided by nation, united by heart” that is the most appropriate statement for this situation I have ever heard in my life, and I’m 37 years old, which may not compare to my 3G Grandfather, but I’ve heard and seen some stuff That being said, (and me trying to not turn this into a collage thesis) this scene perfectly encapsulates the sheer emotion of this event, and I only wish I could have been there, in the cold and the snow, to see this with my own 2 eyes

Fun thing. Many refused to fight after this truce. Both commanders were replaced and the soldiers moved to other parts of the trenches so they didnt fight with their friends. Some parts of the trenches the truce went on for days. They traded chocolates, cigarettes, alcohol, coffee. Anything people sent their kids, they traded. Men were buried, letters were relayed, stories told late at night.... oh it helps me just have faith...
My great-grandfather was a German fighting on the allies' side during WW2. He was sent with two Americans to some German-occupied town that had surrendered. They were supposed to go there to have the germans hand over their weapons and prepare them for when the american ships would come the next day. After the german soldiers handed their weapons over, everyone went to a bar and partied all night. My grandfather had his violin with him, and since he grew up in germany, he knew all the folk tunes that the young soldiers were familiar with. He spent the night playing these for them, everyone danced and sang and had a grand old time. When the americans came the next day, everyone surrendered peacefully.

The leaders above you dont know and dont care about you. They need to to settle THEIR dispute... its not your dispute becauss one day they will tell you peace hAS been made. THEY OWN YOU
The truce on Christmas was one of the most beautiful and sad things ever. They did not hate the other side but were just following orders, they made friends and were forced to kill them the next day. A truly beautiful thing but a tragic after math. Edit: HOLY 1K LIKES!
They didn’t kill them. Each side had to be sent to different places bc they refused to kill their new friends. It is called the Christmas Truce in Dunk.
@@SamBoyMassGRWlol. That’s Canada for you. Nicest guys to ever live, until you piss them off and then they decide to go through the Geneva -checklist- convention.
Yeah thats what hurts me,that without the soldiers,the politicians are NOTHING so if the world just wakes up and ppl stop listening to orders from politicians,then we would be at peace bc the politicians cant do anything
"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 paints the ground white."
This event really happened. They couldn't speak each other's language but they found they had more in common than not. They shared pictures of their families with each other. The best part is one of them had a soccer ball so they played ! But when the sun started to come up they shook hands and went back to their bunkers and carried on with the job at hand. Soldiers involved didn't speak about this until the war was over. I found this inspiring as well as sad.
They went back to the bunkers and that was it. They couldn’t fire upon each other after that. Not a single shot was fired. They were eventually replaced on both sides, and fighting resumed
Actually both battalions were sent to different battlefields cus they didn’t wanna fight each other. Looks like ur the one who doesn’t know anything about history
This is a reminder of two things to me, soldiers don’t start the wars they just do the dirty work, politics are to blame, and that no matter what decides us, border, skin colour, religion or accent, we all are human
@@Deni_GRyes because if not they would be in prison for as long as they live or worse execution from the leader. So a lot of these other countries have no choice.
For those of you, you don’t know who don’t know the Christmas truce of 1913 was in event in germans couldn’t find a Christmas tree so they snuck past no man’s land to get one. They also realize that they wanted some alcohol so then they tried stealing one from the French when the French realize that the Germans were Germans they didn’t care they just gave them the alcohol and let them leave freely the next day both France and Germans came out of their trenches and made a truce for Christmas and that time of the truce they built snowman they drink together they had snowball fights and and so forth. This is how powerful Christmas is.
I started crying for no reason when I started watching it, because people had to freaking lose their fights for nothing. This is a great example that peace is in us. 😭😭😭😢😢😢 Edit: I'm back here only scrolling randomly though shorts and came across this again I'm happy that many people liked this comment.
It had brought tears to my eyes as well, specially the old Conny's part(that's what Jim's wife's name is I think) where she thought that that man was her Jim. But Jim was long gone...
Those lines actually refused to attack eachother after that one of those encounters because they no longer felt like enemies rather than brothers in arms fighting for the same thing
Itis actually a chapter in our English book on the same incident WW1 the British who first meet that German soldier name is Jim Machperson andthe German soldier name is Hans Wolf
That's not true soldiers are taught to hate their enemy and not see them as human but beasts a true soldier hates his enemy I know this because I served in the military
@@Camelina-hf4yp canada was notoriously a bunch of psychopaths in ww1, so lots of em kept the war waging during this truce among various other messed up stuff
My great grandfather was a captain in WW2. He got 2 Purple Hearts because he evacuated a Jewish family in hiding from the Nazi and also survived a stab to the back of his neck from a Nazi while playing dead (was paralyzed on his entire left side ( I believe ) and his pictures include him with his cane. Miraculously he regained consciousness of the paralyzed side of his body. Thank you Great grandpa, I know the country did not become what you thought it would have or perhaps it was not the country you thought you were fighting for, but I appreciate you and all the men in our family line who joined and fought in the army. I love you so much even though I never met you and you have my greatest respects, as does every single American soldier who fought in WW2.
My great-grandmother had to leave Italy because of the Nazis in 1943, they were strong and managed to escape to Brazil and this story is passed down from generation to generation.

"For one day, one Christmas, a very long time ago, everyone just put down their weapons, and started to sing. Everybody just stopped. Everyone was just kind."
1914 on Christmas day. On the western front the guns all died away and lying in the mud on bags of sand. We heard a German sing from no man's land. He had a tenor voice so pure and true. The words were strange but every note we knew. Soaring or the living dead and dammed, the Germans sang of peace from no man's land. They left their trenches and we left ours. Beneath tin hats smiles bloomed like wild flowers with photos, cigarettes and tons of wine. We built a soldier's truce on the front line, their singer was a lad of twenty one. We begged another song before the dawn. And sitting in the mud with blood and fear, he sang again the song all longed to hear. Silent night, no cannons roar. A king is born of peace for evermore. All's calm, all's bright. All brothers hand in hand. It's gas and rusty wire in no man's land. And in the morning all the guns boomed in the rain. And we killed them and they killed us again with Bayonet, bullet gas, bomb and flame. And neither we nor they at all to blame. There was heavy fighting throughout the day, for one night's peace we bloodyly did pay, that night they charged we fought them hand to hand. And I killed the boy that sang in no man's land. Silent night, no cannons roar. A king is born of peace for evermore. All's calm, All's bright. All brothers hand in hand. And that young soldier sings. And the song of peace still rings. Though the captains and all kings, Built in no man's land. Sleep in heavenly peace.
The fact that this happened in real life still amazes me, how ever they both came over front lines and made peace too then go back too killing one another the next day is crazy

They were supposed to go there to have the germans hand over their weapons and prepare them for when the american ships would come the next day.
After the german soldiers handed their weapons over, everyone went to a bar and partied all night. My grandfather had his violin with him, and since he grew up in germany, he knew all the folk tunes that the young soldiers were familiar with.
He spent the night playing these for them, everyone danced and sang and had a grand old time. When the americans came the next day, everyone surrendered peacefully.

The beauty in seeing their smiles and them being able to see more than just ignorant wars that were planned out by unintelligent beings!
The truce on Christmas was one of the most beautiful and sad things ever. They did not hate the other side but were just following orders, they made friends and were forced to kill them the next day. A truly beautiful thing but a tragic after math.
Edit: HOLY 1K LIKES!
They didn’t kill them. Each side had to be sent to different places bc they refused to kill their new friends. It is called the Christmas Truce in Dunk.
The Canadians killed the Germans who tried to celebrate with them💔

"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 paints the ground white."
This event really happened. They couldn't speak each other's language but they found they had more in common than not. They shared pictures of their families with each other. The best part is one of them had a soccer ball so they played ! But when the sun started to come up they shook hands and went back to their bunkers and carried on with the job at hand. Soldiers involved didn't speak about this until the war was over. I found this inspiring as well as sad.
They went back to the bunkers and that was it. They couldn’t fire upon each other after that. Not a single shot was fired. They were eventually replaced on both sides, and fighting resumed
Canadians threw grenades at them
This really does show that they were just people and there was truly no bad blood between them. They didn't start the war but they had to fight it.

@@Theminutemen2288Legit changes nothing about what they said stupid, they didn’t want the war but had to fight regardless.
Actually both battalions were sent to different battlefields cus they didn’t wanna fight each other. Looks like ur the one who doesn’t know anything about history
@@Theminutemen2288they were sent to different battlefields
Serbia should be the one to be blame. The slavs started the war. This also stem to Adolf hitler's plan for revenge in WW2.
Is it just me or is German such a nice language to listen to when they yell for some reason
This is a reminder of two things to me, soldiers don’t start the wars they just do the dirty work, politics are to blame, and that no matter what decides us, border, skin colour, religion or accent, we all are human

For those of you, you don’t know who don’t know the Christmas truce of 1913 was in event in germans couldn’t find a Christmas tree so they snuck past no man’s land to get one. They also realize that they wanted some alcohol so then they tried stealing one from the French when the French realize that the Germans were Germans they didn’t care they just gave them the alcohol and let them leave freely the next day both France and Germans came out of their trenches and made a truce for Christmas and that time of the truce they built snowman they drink together they had snowball fights and and so forth. This is how powerful Christmas is.
What's sad is the next day they went back to killing each other..
The war began in 1914
@@georgespaceagency9894 Fun Fact both sides were moved to different parts because they were all intentionally missing their shots.

I mean that's not true. As a soldier, ideally you do dislike what is in front as well. Otherwise you are fighting in a war for no reason.
That's not true soldiers are taught to hate their enemy and not see them as human but beasts a true soldier hates his enemy I know this because I served in the military
This shows that the Christmas spirit is strong enough to stop wars

My great grandfather was a captain in WW2. He got 2 Purple Hearts because he evacuated a Jewish family in hiding from the Nazi and also survived a stab to the back of his neck from a Nazi while playing dead (was paralyzed on his entire left side ( I believe ) and his pictures include him with his cane. Miraculously he regained consciousness of the paralyzed side of his body. Thank you Great grandpa, I know the country did not become what you thought it would have or perhaps it was not the country you thought you were fighting for, but I appreciate you and all the men in our family line who joined and fought in the army. I love you so much even though I never met you and you have my greatest respects, as does every single American soldier who fought in WW2.
May your great grandfather's soul rest in peace
Not just every american soldier every soldier.
We dont even have to talk about the things that happened in the Rheinwiesenlager.
Great 🙏👏
My great-grandmother had to leave Italy because of the Nazis in 1943, they were strong and managed to escape to Brazil and this story is passed down from generation to generation.
It's a shame how this country disrespects the sacrifices of our ancestors
"Old man Starts it, young man fights it, nobody wins, everybody in the middle die, and nobody tells the truth."
Not correct, the richest ones always make big money on wars. And the ones who lose pay reparations. Destruction brings necessity of investments. That's how capitalism works. Crisis-war-destruction-investments-reconstruction-new crisis. Cycle.

MEANWHILE AT THE CANADIAN FRONT
The canadians said nope and kept killing
Canadians nowadays: I am sorry
Canadians in 1914: You're sorry..
1914 on Christmas day.
On the western front the guns all died away and lying in the mud on bags of sand. We heard a German sing from no man's land. He had a tenor voice so pure and true. The words were strange but every note we knew. Soaring or the living dead and dammed, the Germans sang of peace from no man's land. They left their trenches and we left ours. Beneath tin hats smiles bloomed like wild flowers with photos, cigarettes and tons of wine. We built a soldier's truce on the front line, their singer was a lad of twenty one. We begged another song before the dawn. And sitting in the mud with blood and fear, he sang again the song all longed to hear. Silent night, no cannons roar. A king is born of peace for evermore. All's calm, all's bright. All brothers hand in hand. It's gas and rusty wire in no man's land. And in the morning all the guns boomed in the rain. And we killed them and they killed us again with Bayonet, bullet gas, bomb and flame. And neither we nor they at all to blame. There was heavy fighting throughout the day, for one night's peace we bloodyly did pay, that night they charged we fought them hand to hand. And I killed the boy that sang in no man's land. Silent night, no cannons roar. A king is born of peace for evermore. All's calm, All's bright. All brothers hand in hand. And that young soldier sings. And the song of peace still rings. Though the captains and all kings, Built in no man's land. Sleep in heavenly peace.
