whenever that 1914 christmas thing comes up, i always wonder who was that first guy to climb out of the trenches, because he must have had balls of steel.
I agree, he must have been vey brave.
Apparently it was the Germans that initiated the truce, and before anyone knew it, soldiers of both sides were out on no man's land, playing football.
@@druidkhan6066 yeah they did, but no one knows who that first guy was, saw somewhere some British officer saying about one of his brigade going over the top, but no name or anything is given.
and also the german didn't really want the truce to end, even after Christmas, some of them would just sit on top of the trenches and sing, despites the warning from the british they refused to get down, and the brits were like "well we can't just shoot them in cold blood like that" so the truce continued for awhile, and they actually tried a bunch more times, on easter sunday and so on. but strict orders were given not to ever do that again. which is the following christmas' didn't have the same thing.
iron man has bals of steel maybe he climbe out first😂
Far as I know, they just started singing and it just sorta happened.
After ww1 the idea of a gentleman’s war was definitely over. War was always hell but least soldiers had respect for one another, despite both sides having a job to do
Exactly, British soldiers even gave huge respect & honor to a German Ace fighter pilot. His name was Werner Voss.
There’s a little documentary of him & his dogfights with british planes on RUclips. Check it out, very interesting.

Happened more often at the late years of ww2. When the Wehrmacht morale became really low.
I don’t think a lot of people realize that WWI was the first kind of modern war which is what made it so terrifying for the soldiers. Last major war they had was fought with muskets
@@emorynguyen1583 Not quite. They had bolt action rifles, but they still fought in the Napoleonic styles of war, big formations with bright colored uniforms, cavalry charges and cannonades. If I recall, the last major war the "Germans" fought was Schleswig-Holstein.
Lord Alkair I said the last MAJOR war, and that’s exactly what I was saying. WWI was the first war kind of modern war. The veterans from the Napoleonic wars and American civil wars would’ve been the grandfathers of the men who would fight in WWI. They grow up with this idea of what war is like which is an adventure and full of pride. When the war started many children lied about their age because they wanted to join. the fighting, and recruiting officers being desperate often turned a blind eye. Like 500k in the UK alone were child soldiers. Of course no one realized what they were getting themselves into. This was the most major turning point in warfare. The first use of machine guns, very advanced artillery, tanks, and much more. At the beginning of the war didn’t even realize they that they were supposed to stop wearing bright color uniforms, or even wear helmets. The idea of wearing a helmet seemed almost primitive unless you were a cavalryman to protect yourself from falls and clashes with other cavalry. They realized they needed helmets because of the mass use of artillery which killed many not even with a direct hit but by sending debris at the enemy. The French wore blue and bright red uniforms almost identical to how they looked in the Franco-Prussian war and every military began fighting in the Napoleonic linear formations which were effective in the age of the musket, but not in this new age of warfare. I mean, WWI was a shock to the men who fought in it. No one was expecting it to be like this
It makes me sad that some people can’t differentiate between WWI and WWII and within WWII between the Wehrmacht and the Nazis.
Even then. All the soldiers weren't Nazis in WWII, they were normal men and boys.
I'm British and I realise it was nothing to do with it. I realise this is WW1 and the Nazi's had nothing to do with it. I think Americans don't realise and why should it matter?
@@overthewebb im American, most Americans who have opened a history book know the difference between WW1 and WW2, now that I think about it no one in America gives a shit about history so your right.
and within the Wehrmacht between early not-that-“brown” (as in nazified) Wehrmacht and late very-“brown” Wehrmacht...
Whilst I agree about it being sad confusing WWI with WWII, I'd be very careful about trying to exonerate the WWII era Wehrmacht. It is a dangerous myth to try and claim they were entirely distinct from the Nazis and not culpable for the holocaust.
"He gave him the chocolates... ...and he gave him like, a toaster streudel." 😂😂😂🤣
This advert got to me as my Paternal Great Great Grandfather was serving on the Western-front during WW1. He was in the Christmas truce, his name was Ernest Von Ehren.
May he rest in peace
My great great grandfather was an American soldier in the 175th. During WW1.
@@chasepound5513 He must have joined a few years after this event.
@@xWHITExEAGLEx Turned up 3 years after the war started, my Great grandfather was there from 1914 until he was killed at the Battle of Arras, 27th April 1917, buried at the British cemetery in Rolincourt France. RIP, JT Nicholson.
After this ended, both sides refused to fight each other and were replaced by different units.
Beautiful. Merry christmas
Merry christmas
Frohe Weihnachten
Soldiers on opposite sides often have more in common with each other then there own officers.
There was no good or bad,we all know who did it....**stares at the serbian**
*Bosnian
Funny guy
@@Damo2690 what bosnian?
This actually happened,the Sassenech (English) replaced those troops with others as they could no longer kill a enemy they shook hands with.
Fake news/or history.
Watch They shall not grow old. You probably can’t react to it as it’s pretty much a film but it’s an eye opener. The guy who directed lord of the rings directed this and basically they turned footage of WW1 into colour videos and put sound over them. It’s an amazing film.
Let's be honest here. This was the day Humanity won. This is the potential humanity can achieve. This proves, that whatever side you are on, we are all humans and children of this earth.
I cried at the end, the moving moment of my great-grandfather was German and he fought during World War I and World War 2 just as my grandfather who fought in the Wehrmacht during World War II and grandmother took care of the house and then got money from the state to run the house.
Ich wünsche dir eine Frohe Weihnacht und ein gesegnetes Neues Jahr 2021!
Love between the UK and Germany. No more brother wars
Where is your family from? My Grandfather came from Kaiserslautern and my Oma was from Potsdam.
The tragic thing about this was that the British generals were furious when they heard the news about this truce. They were probably 15 miles behind the front line.
I lived in Germany for a year and was in love with a German girl. I met her Grandad who bombed Britain in WW2, but I felt zero hate towards him, as he was only doing his job. I shook his hand and spoke with him and that's how you should be I think. This is WW1 which I am aware, shame Devon doesn't realise it, but he's still a good guy. :)
Greatest advert ever. 🙌🏻
Honestly think Sainsbury's does it better than John Lewis
Without a doubt!
100% my favorite advertisement and favorite holiday advertisement.
I’ve had the pleasure of going to those trenches of the First World War, I went to Belgium 2 years ago and I saw the fields of the Christmas truce
Pleasure?
@@raymartin7172 Yes please
Merry Christmas sir. Thanks for the interesting and entertaining videos. All the best wishes for you, Devon, your family and friends.
Really happened and when word got around they were told they will be shot if it ever happens again..
The thing is that not all Germans were Nazis during WW2 aswell. There were alot of german soldiers that hated the SS and Hitler.
such a powerful moment in history!
I don't think this video will ever not get me. World War 1 was just so senseless, and all the soldiers knew it. The events in this video are dramatised but they essentially are historically true. More than 16 million people were killed in WW1 and literally no one got anything out of it, except WW2. They had to start dehumanising the enemy to keep people going throughout the war. The real costs of the events of 1914-1918 are still stacking up to this day.
Watch a movie called Joyeux Noel (Merry Christmas in French)….Its about the Christmas truce of 1914...here is the you tube link.....ruclips.net/video/KRrr-CDXijs/видео.html
The events are not dramatised. This actually happened. But the truce lasted a lot longer than an hour. It went on for days. By all accounts they were in and out of each other's trenches and just having a high old time. When the news got back to the powers that be, they were told they would all be court martialed if they didn't get back to fighting but (and this is the good bit) they just fired over each other's heads!
@@geoffweston8667 we watch this movie every Christmas Eve! I’m watching it in an hour with my kids, as a matter of fact.
Did you know that this past Christmas Eve was the 200th anniversary of the first performance of Silent Night?
Found your channel recently with your reactions to the Ricky Gervais Podcasts, you are so funny and deserve far more subscribers. Merry Christmas my man!
Thank You
What you said maybe true but the real football is the only sport that has the power to bring people together
There have never been Soccer Riots?
Soccer has the power to bring people so close together that fights inevitably break out
Trading Blows of Togetherness as our fellow man Windmills into a crowd. You paint a visions my friend, it's a picture.
Whisper Mason of course there is football riots it’s what comes with the sport some might say its traditional, take a look at hooligans in the 80s in the uk and Europe. As much as there is a lot of fighting there is also a lot of “togetherness” especially when it comes to national teams. That brings all clubs together to support one
The 'only' sport to bring people together? So...you've never heard of the Olympics?
Just goes to show that in the early wars, soldiers didn't really want to fight but had to. Normal everyday people are sent to war to fight other normal everyday people, they never really attack the people who cause the problems just civilians while the fat cats and governments wouldn't go to war or send their families to war! I always find that strange but worrying.
nah it's more conscript armies that didn't really want to fight. The volunteers glorified war throughout the centuries.
First vid I've seen of yours, you seem like a good man. Keep er' up.
Wow you are the first person I watched that can actually react to a video 😀
Think I jus found a gem reaction channel, ima watch every 1 ov ur newest vidz now I cant resist 😂😂
Thank you for being a Hilarious and intellectual reactor, a Rare sight
Dude, you’re a comedian! Thanks for the great reaction!
Imagine a world with no war no crime just peace
we will not forget..
Two months later one of them was killed trying to save a wounded comrade.
Edward Holst, something along those lines. And he died 3 months later
Amen, well put.
Thanks, great Christmas message! I suspect I could plagiarize your whole speech and sub it in as mine! I mean its uncanny how similar we are. Me being fifty four and white! lol, Merry Christmas Devon!
lol, thanks and Merry Christmas
Great reaction
I'm a British Army Veteran, and served for many years. I've met service personnel from different countries. Service personnel are doing the same thing, no matter what the uniform, we are brothers in arms.
Merry Christmas for all of you guys in 2020. Have fun !
"My name is Adolf."
Actually, Hitler wouldn't have been on those lines. He was actually Austrian, not German.
But in all seriousness, that day must have felt like paradise to those men. When the war started, everyone was cocky and thought it would be over so quickly that they'd be home in time for Christmas. Months later, they're suffering PTSD in a freezing cold trench, injured from bullet wounds and shrapnel, having not slept for days because of the constant bombardment from cannons, covered in bites from rats and fleas, and feet swollen, cracked and blistering off due to months sloshing in frozen mud and blood.
They spent the day treating their wounded, giving each other shaves and haircuts, exchanging gifts from home (drinks, treats and freshly knitted socks were more valuable than gold in that particular setting) and playing European football. Truly, that day must have felt like paradise to both sides. Neither of them started the war, none of them wanted to be there. If it weren't for the bureaucrats, everyone there would have been happy to ditch their rifles and go home right then and there.
The Germans won on penalties.
It was a war witch never would have been fought. The British and Germans are cousins who have fallen out over time but have always respected eachother and politicians aside...friendly towards eachother x
My favourite Christmas ad
Jolly Good
This is something that actually happened during the Christmas truce.
Reacting to a small part of a movie without context is like reacting to a section of a roller coaster without riding it from start to finish...
This actually happenened, it`s quite a famous story now...
when i watched that video i cried
Beside the Christmas truce I love Christmas for a different reason. It reminds me of my grandfather who died six days before Christmas in the year 2016. It always makes me sad about that because he was a very good guy. When I would cry, he would hug me and say "Tu estás con migo" meaning "you are with me". And then one day when I went to his house. He wasnt there. So I asked where is he. And my grandma said " está arriba aya con dios" meaning " he is up there with god" at that Time I was little so I didn't cry. But I did feel my heart sink. And in his funeral I was even worst. I still didn't cry but I was gonna. I just miss him so much and I wish he was here. Why did they have to take him away from me" he was a really good grandfather. I really miss him.i know everybody you love will die eventually. But if he had to go, why didn't he go by my side.i wish I could've said goodbyes when I had the chance.😭😭😭😭😭😭
I feel you, my grandmother passed about a week ago. It's tough having to deal with a loss like that because usually with grandparents they are always very sweet and understanding. Compared to a parent that can come off as being too harsh (especially as a teen). But try to remember the good times you had together. As long as you know they loved you and you feel they know you loved them you don't have to be too sad. They would want you to be happy and would feel bad if they saw you are currently sad because of them. It's okay to mourn, but your grandpa would want you to be happy when you think of him.
@@DevonDaVinci I know it could be harsh knowing that a loved one passed away. Especially when you haven't see them in a long time and were gonna visit them. I sorry for your loss
@@meandmybeautifuldogs2454 I'm fine, take care of yourself first. I hope everything gets better for you and your family. I'm sure your grandpa would be very happy to see how much you care for him.
@@DevonDaVinci thank you
Harry patch the last surviving British soldier of World War I famously quoted “war is organised murder and nothing else”
If you'd like to learn more about what happened with the Christmas truce please take a look.

Is he watching an extended advert as I don’t remember some parts of that being in the original?
SuperWAZZZZZZUP He definitely was. The walk across no man’s land was longer and so was the conversation between Jim and Otto.
Otto: “Stop! He has no weapon, he has no weapon”. This is beautiful and based on a true story. My grandfather eventually succumbed to mustard gas from the trenches. This make my heart glad bro
You, my friend, are a Centrist. There is absolutely nothing wrong that. Most Europeans(I include us Brits) are Centrists. It simply means that you see the world in it's proper perspective. Some subjects I'm left leaning like healthcare(the BRILLIANT NHS) and on others I'm slightly right leaning(zero tolerance on violent crime).
America is a young and somewhat immature country politically, but eventually it will catch up with Europe and have a multi-party system and rid itself of the ridiculous and, frankly, undemocratic Electoral College debacle. Obviously, and I say this as a fan of our great American cousins, you are stuck with Presidents like Bush jr and Trump. I love America and it's because of this love that I worry for you so much. You are Britain's child, like Canada, Australia and New Zealand, and as such we have always looked out for you.
Aaron McCrorie LMAO STFU. France has countrywide protests and you’re worried about America. Our country is doing great right now. We don’t need your input.
christmas 1914 was the time mankind had no world wars....
The setup does sound better! The original movie, Joyeux Noel that the clips were from is a terrific film! I highly recommend it, Merry Christmas!
I'm holding off watching this video because I want to see the film first. I feel like this is the climactic scene.
These clips aren’t from the film they were made specifically for this advert
@@Nathan-km9su Oh you are totally right. I don't know why I mixed the two up.
A true story.. where humans dont want to do anymore with a war....
Pretty late but when he said "MY NAME IS ADOLF" " WHAT" made me laugh so hard😂😂
Soldiers aren’t machines, were just people.
That my name is adolf earned a sub i love history nerds
This kids didn't know why they were fighting.
I cannot remember where I read this but what I read said that about a week after this happened the Germans was ordered to attack. The Brits beat them back and one of the German soldiers left dead was Otto!!
I recommend 'Pipes of peace' macca. A good interpretation
A true story about ww1
A bayonet is a weapon with a worker at both ends
You relize like a week later they would of mowed down or blown up alot of them
“They would’ve skipped ww2 and went straight to 3”? There was already a ww2
Not yet during this. This truce was during ww1
One of the British soldiers looked like best in class
Some British kids aged 15 said they were 18 to join up, the youngest was just 14 years old.
*ball hits landmine*
The two world superpowers, Germany and England showed some humanity
A lot of people said that this was the day that peace almost won...
Im not crying your crying
So pleased you laughed at your Adolf "Joke." No-one else did. Literally.
It's a good thing I'm an individual. Otherwise I'd think something was wrong with us.
"American Football" should be "American Rugby".
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas, stream on twitch tonight if you want to join in.
@@DevonDaVinci you know that :) preferably as early as possible for us across the pond, my sleep rhythm is all screwed up after watching your streams ;P
This actually happened
It's a very "clean" image of the trenches and No Man's Land.
It was an advert, so I would be very unlikely that it would have piles of corpses and gore.
Hey Devon,
Love your vids. I think you might enjoy reacting to some Dylan Moran content. He's a really cool, unique Irish stand up comic.
Keep doin' what you're doin' man
#davincireacts
I am 70 and my dad was a sergeant in the trenches in WW1, and it does cross my mind what if dad had shot and killed Adolf Hitler what would have happened in WW2?
Unfortunately, human nature being what it is, someone else would most likely have risen in his place. Maybe someone more aryan, less crazy, more competent...
Hitler did not form the Nazi party from scratch, it existed before him. The political climate at the time was ripe for that sort of leadership and it would have happened whether or not it was him. Had he been shot in WWI it could just have easily turned out worse.
@@mortisrat Yes i was aware of all you say. I was just playing a game i often play that of "what if" and as with every human being we can all have an influence on other peoples lives. The suggestion was Hitlers particular influence and what difference would it have made if Hitler had indeed been killed in WW1 .The possible scenarios are too vast to cosider.
0:00
how many voices do you have
I just found out about this dude in 2019 wow. Is that your real last dude. If so cool.
About the news, I agree. Both sides are biased in some way (sometimes its subtle, sometimes its glaring). The truth is always somewhere in the middle of the madness. It's never as horrible as one side says, or as wonderful as the other one says.
Movie name?
People forget that the germans peaked first on Christmas eve
Funny that you make that joke about Adolf. Because he was actually on the western front at the time and yelled at his troops to get back in the trenches.
Krystal Nacht is a very special night for all soldiers.
Eh? Are you confusing Weinacht (Christmas) with Kristalnacht (the destruction of Jewish properties)?
football is more than a sport
Just young lads no one wants to go to war and today's youths completely disrespect all are grandfathers fought for
5:01 “My name is Adolf” “WHAT” *pew*
5:30 I laughed
Look at his face
Even in ww2 most people wasn't evil Nazis as is propaganda or as you seem to think.
This doesn't mean that those people didn't do "evil" things. Evil IS war. For both sides.
War is such a unimaginable monster that most people now have no idea how minuscule and meaningless anybody is compared to it.
That is why any human semblance in war is seen as such an important mark.
We will never fight against our brothers again.
Wir werden nie wieder gegen unsere Brüder kämpfen.
All wars are civil wars.all people are Brothers.
Greetings from Germany
1914: enemies being friends and playing soccer.
2020: I talked to a feminist now I’m being sued.
Real enemy is the one who ordered them
Hitler was on the frontlines for the truce but he rejected saying anyone who went had no sense of german pride
i niss sileeeeeeeen night
hooooooleey night
There was no bad side in ww1, or in any war, all factions saw other countries as enemies and they are all human, just born in different plains
Sorry, had to laugh at Sansburys, it's Sain to rhyme with rain
But more importantly I worked for Sainsbury's at the time the advert came out and every year in the UK there's a war for the best Christmas ad, kinda like your super bowl ads and there was no doubt in anyone's mind we won that year
Richest people in the graveyard
When Christ is in the middle of the situation and the lives of men...peace can and does happen...No Jesus No Peace...Know Jesus Know Peace...
