God Bless you and keep all of us safe and healthy. The original story and concept was written and directed by Jim Lawrence.
It's stories like this that break my heart. People like Franz Stigler and Friedrich Lengfeld deserve so much more attention. I remember a verse from the Bible: "Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for his friends." John 15:13 In this case, his enemies.
Fkn heroes thats what they were. I've read about them, too. You should also look up the miracle of hurtgenwald were American GI's and German Sentry's (especially medics) worked together to get their wounded of the fields, both sides were so moved by it that they had a hard time fighting each other in the following days
@flekzyyt9709 Yeah, it proved something to me. The Nazis were without doubt evil in their horror. However, there were those among the Nazis who defied their evil. Brief moments of humanity. And that is why I am broken. Oskar Schindler's story was only told because it gained fame from the film named after him, Schindler's List. Without that, no one would have a clue. I've recently seen a 2011 documentary called Hitler's Children. It talked about the children of those born to the most infamous Nazis. Most of them either didn't want to talk about it, were horrified, or furious of their psychotic relatives. I just hope that someday Germany, Israel, Poland, and other countries affected by thr Holocaust find healing, peace, and closure. To all who perished in the Holocaust, rest in peace.
@@coreymyers5613 Yes i searched the miracle of hurtgenwald myself and I couldn't find the right on either. It's from a netflix war documentary and i believe they deleated it because it showed things as african people walking with pictures from germanys leader. Like why would they do that if they came too "invade". And probably also because of this story. It started the same as the christmace truce in ww1 but this time it were 2 medics on each side and there were 100s of wounded soldiers from each side lying in the snow, so many because coldness can stop bleeding wounds. The medics agreed to go too their commanders and ask for a truce to pick the men from the battlefield/no mans land 2.0. The commanders then agreed to meet in a windmill house outside of the front line and came upon an agreement too have a cease fire and let the medics from both sides team up too share knowledge and help IF the medics would have liked this. They did this 3 times When the medics arrived on the battlefield they didnt even talk too each other and in matter of seconds there where already German medics and American medics patching up and carrying wounded soldiers togerher. This inspired even infrantrists from both sides too help and so they shared photos and goods as in thr christmas truce. This inspired painters too, they made beautiful paintings about the soldiers helping each other with all the details on the outfits, snow, trees etc. So ofcourse the men had a hard time fighting each other. It's a sad thing tho.... saving each other just to fight again each other and this time they didnt switch battalions like in the story of WW1...

This is a very well done depiction of the story. From what I know of the story, at the end the german gave the american his compass. That's the only detail they left out and im not sure why.
Is that the movie where American and German troops take shelter from a storm in a cottage together and they end up singing silent night together. I remember seeing a movie like that as a kid and that's the scene in looking for when I found this
There's a scene where the American and German sergeants sit outside and share personal experiences and then sing 'O Christmas tree', alternating between German and English. It is an awesome movie and I play it every year on Christmas eve.

I first heard this story when my mom found it in the Reader’s Digest when I was about 10 years old. Every Christmas Eve, even into my adulthood, we read that story.

We can love one another, even if the world governments say otherwise.❤️

Stories such as this one frequently occurred in real life. My favorite involved a woman serving Christmas Eve supper to a group of young Germans when, suddenly, an American battalion burst in. Before anyone could jump into action th llady of the house firmly held up her hand and said, "This is the evening of Our Lord's birthday! No guns, no war will be in this house!"At first tensions,were strained but as the meal refreshened the time soldiers they began to talk to one another. They shared wallet photos of their wives and children. Then, as humble gifts, they exchanged cigarettes and chocolate bars. When the evening came to an end, a young German soldier looked at his weapon then at an American. "Not tonight nor tomorrow." As they began to leave an American said to the Germans, "Keep your heads down," smiled and left.

Unsolved Mysteries did an episode on this story. The kid grew up and was able to find some of the American soldiers decades later.

There's a 2002 movie titled 'Silent Night', starring Linda Hamilton, which depict the details of this story in a more dramatic fashion.

@@Rockingroad4893If you liked this then you need to watch the original 1977 telling of this story "A Truce in the Forest", which is honestly a much better story. It's a 36 minute short film also available on RUclips. God Bless you and keep all of us safe and healthy.
The original story and concept was written and directed by Jim Lawrence.
