@@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.
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.
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.

@@babyyoda9004wut? Wdym we joined August 4th 1914 and played major roles throughout the entirety of WW1 even capturing territory the British and French couldn't. You are right comparably our soldiers were low in numbers but they were more effective than any other force at the time. We captured the most territory per soldier than any other country. We even created the worldwide favorite tactic "Creeping Barrage".
This was so beautiful that I made me cry. War is ugly but it is still a very important piece of history, so remember the scary, the sad and the ugly, but also the beautiful, the hopefull and the fantastic part of the world history.....
The chrismas truce was so sad yet so joyful. Men became children again and had fun with each other. They even played with their opponents. But the next day came, and they had to go back out and fight😢
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
At the near end of World War 2 ... The nazi germany's conscripts are composed mainly of children, women , wounded and the elderly. they are taught that they will be tortured and killed if captured.
And today we are brothers Tonight we all friends A moment of peace in a war that never ends And today we are brothers We drink and unite Now Christmas has arrived, and the snow turns the ground white Hear carols from the trenches We sing O'Holy Night Our guns laid to rest among snowflake A Christmas in the trenches, a Christmas on the front far from home!...
"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."
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.

When I was in elementary school, there was a place where we could read books. Through stories that we had access, there was this story. A beautiful illustrated book. This story still remains in my mind. Despite my young age at, I was so moved and touched by this story... Yeah. Humans just want to love each other. It's just complicated sometimes
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
Серьёзно? Фашистов в 1941 тоже политики только ненавидили? Русским было плевать на захват и истребление родных людей? Так все-же, только ли политики ненавидят врага?
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.
Interesting fact: After the truce, they had to go back to fighting each other, but most of the soldiers wouldn’t fight because they met and became friends with that the other side so then the captains of that area were getting angry and they moved a lot of their soldiers to different trenches to fight in the war still.
@@MushroomGod-go6qy Yeah before they actually know what war is first hand and experience it. Remember when the Germans marched forth to support Austria in WW1 they thought war would be over by Christmas.
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
@@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.
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...
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.
Although unrelated, my great-grandfather fought for the British Army in both world wars. He fought primarily in Africa and died sometime in the 60s. May his legacy live on.
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.
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.

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.
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.

It gives goosebumps every time. Once my grandfather said we were not happy that how many enemies we killed, deep down we were sad for the mother who was waiting for their child for long. He told me many things what happens between the politicians and they had to just follow there command.😢

I also had this in my english book..cbse ya uk... now im in 11th... really this is wholesome...❤
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...

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 thought it was uk and Germany
Btw it was Franco Prussian war I think

Although unrelated, my great-grandfather fought for the British Army in both world wars. He fought primarily in Africa and died sometime in the 60s. May his legacy live on.
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.

Which book is this? I would very much appreciate the name. Thanks
The name of the book is all quiet on the western front like the movie
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. 😭😭😭😢😢😢

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

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

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.

Imagine how they felt fighting each other the very next day.
Thats the funney thing they didnt thay had to replace the both of em on both sides bc thay won't shoot each other😢
That's why I don't enchant some iron a efficiency just to put it in a gun
