It was British and German troops that had a short truce on Christmas Day 1914 they sheared gifts and played football in no mans land and is based on true events.
The Christmas truce actually happened in WW1 between British and German soldiers. It was spontaneous between the soldiers rather than coming from the Generals. There was a football (soccer) match too. And they really did sing Silent Night to each other across no man's land.
The soldiers on the ground held no ill will against each other according to interviews with the veterans, when it was finally over everyone wasn't upset, they were just glad it was over
Britain has a massive media machine it doesn't need any help from anyone or anywhere else to be able to project it's huge presence on the Worlds stage..Where does (North) America end and Britain begin... or Canada begin or Australia/New Zealand begin and of course then there is the Commonwealth and some other significant entities...
@@englishpassport6590 Where does America end and Britain begin? Id say the Atlantic ocean -_- Out of all places. We're an island. very easy to distinguish.
The WW1 advert is based on a true event on the Western Front when British and German soldiers met in no man's land and had an unofficial truce. It ended when general Officers ruled that the soldiers must return to the trenches and ordered an offensive. Opa is Dutch for Grandpa
That’s one of the reasons I want Scottish independence. My dad used to get up and leave the room when people on TV talked about England winning the war. My dad was shot in WW2. He was a proud scot and it boiled his blood when people like you do this. No scot or welsh person would ever say these soldiers were Scottish or welsh, they would say Britain because they know the difference. England and Britain are NOT THE SAME THING!!!!
The Sainsbury's advert is based on a true event on Christmas Eve 1914 between British and German troops. British troops heard the German troops singing Silent Night, they joined in and then had a temporary truce for Christmas, played football and then went back and war resumed. Sainsbury's is a supermarket.
@@colonyofrats4193 yep, they actually formed the christmas truce against orders too. Just a bunch of kids stuck in hell on christmas morning after being told the war wouldn’t last till the winter. No one who went into the trenches knew what that place was going to be
The last ad with the old man basically translates as the old man saying "this is the only way I could get us altogether" it was the old man that sent the notes to say he had died.
Sainsbury’s is a supermarket. This was a real life event during World War 1 between British and German troops on Christmas Day, the chocolate and other was to symbolise an exchange of gifts,
we in england know our history there for this is a well known story to us british soldiers and german soldiers playing football in no mans land on christmas day
British legion is a charity to help service veterans. It's a UK tradition to have a 3 minute Christmas story advert ( that's the length of our as breaks). Sainsbury's is a major supermarket here that sell all sorts included own brand products.
Normally our adverts are short and have a pretty small budgets too, but pretty much all shops and/or businesses put a lot of time and money into their Christmas ads and people usually get quite excited to see what they are going to do
Funnily enough, my brother was in the Sainsbury's advert, but as everything goes by so fast, you can hardly pick out anyone, so we play, 'Spot the Dope' whenever it comes on 😂
Sainsbury’s is a grocery store - as others have said the ‘American’ was British, this was the Christmas Truce that happened in WW1 - they really did play football/soccer
It's British and German soldiers singing them coming together to say Happy Christmas then they played football. THIS REALLY HAPPENED. America hadn't even joined the war. Sainsbury's is a supermarket.
sainsbury’s is a supermarket (grocery store) america didn’t join ww1 until 1917, that advert depicted a true event between BRITISH and GERMAN troops in 1914
When this advert was shown. It was exactly 100 years after the start of WW1. This is to commemorate this period in time. My great grandfather was on the front line at that time.
Sainsbury advert was england and Germany truce on Christmas Day 1914 true story actually happened and the two gentlemen in question swapped gifts thats why it showed you the choclate and cracker at the end 😁😁
"when's the last time they showered or brushed their teeth" - and there you have a big contribution to the US sterotype about the British having bad teeth. When the Doughboys rocked up in Flanders in 1917 most of the British units had been there a while and for the trench Tommy dental hygiene was low on a list of survival priorities.
It’s kinda of sad that American no nothing about history. Of course she thinks their American, which is pretty insulting. Maybe instead of reaction videos learn some world history
The football commercial in the trenches is a real story, in ww1 on Christmas Day British and German troops called a ceasefire and played a game of football/soccer and some even exchanged gifts.
The chocolate given during ww1 was a present from the crown. Every British soldier was given them. The football match was a real event that took place on Christmas as the soldiers on the ground had nothing against the soldiers they were fighting, so a few gifts were exchanged between the German and allied forces
No doubt many will have said this is based on a true story on the Western Front (WW1) at Xmas 1914- at several points, German and British troops met in No Mans Land to fraternise and play football. Probably have to remember (unlike how we see the Germans now), Germany had been an ally of England, had a Kaiser who was Queen Victoria's grandson. Plays on the British sense of fair play and empathy. One of the best Xmas adverts in the UK......ever.
John Lewis is a department store, like macys. Our gardens are smaller but they still have space. My back garden has a double swing set, slide, trampoline, footy net and space for outdoor furniture and my kid scooterung or using his go kart. We always find.a way..
In the UK (and I imagine the rest of europe) adverts are mainly created in a way to trigger an emotion and the actual product will follow. This associates an emotion or feeling with the product
In Britain from 1860 to the start of WW1 in 1914, it was a requirement to have a moustache in the British army. In India you get paid more money if you have a moustache in the New Delhi police force.
The Sainsbury's advert was a real event. Soldiers from both sides, Britain, France, Belgium on one side made a Christmas peace with Germany on the other side. Just for Christmas, in some places a few days more. Just for a moment humanity won.
Having now watched some of your reaction videos I am amazed at the amount Of things you have to idea about. You appear to be very badly informed about how things work in the world outside of the US
When I lived in the US (6 yrs in VA, 3 yrs in CA), I found the average attention span was shorter than other places I have lived. As a result, sports are divided into shorter bits, interrupted by lots of short commercials, for example. It was different when living in Québec, UK, Hong Kong, South Africa, or here in Kenya.
Those were British and German soldiers. ( America hadn't joined the war for a couple of years yet) The Christmas football game in No Man's Land actually took place. The troops decided to call the truce, and some senior officers were not happy. The British guy snuck his bar of chocolate into the German's coat pocket as a Christmas gift.
Sainsburys is a British supermarket and their Christmas ww1 ad to me has been the best ad so far. A short truce between the British and German soldiers during ww1 in no mansland .
Someone buy me a coffin coz when she said Gaelic I died lol and it wasn't America and Germany it was Britain and Germany in world war 1 and it actually happened
The war ad was based on a true event that took place! When the two sides put aside the war to celebrate Christmas!! (And the guy spook British not American!) x
What's really impressive about the war one is it really happened. On Christmas day the English and German troops had an short Armistice where they played football in no mans land
Sainsbury are a supermarket, like Walmart, but a little more upper class. And the British soldier gave his chocolate away to the German soldier despite the conflict and was happy in the knowledge he had shared his rations with a young man in the same predicament. Class 🇬🇧❤🇺🇸
Sainsburys is a supermarket and it wasn't a cracker but was shortbread which is actually quite nice. Also it was a re-enactment of what happened on Christmas day in the war. A temporary truce and played soccer/football in no man's land. They didn't have anything against eachother. It's politicians, generals etc that sent them to war not the guys fighting and dieing in the war. They was forced to enlist. They didn't know the other was going to gift there Present either. It was selfless and touching not expecting anything in return. Obviously your not to know any of that but thought I'd mention it. It's a nice story. But I'm rubbish at explaining lol xx
Not sure if America was in the war at this time in WW1 but fully understandable that your history is a little distorted in America because i feel sure that if we were back in the 19th century most school children would be taught about the British Empire and as America is now the super power history will be a little bias. I am 73 and my dad was in his early 50s when i was born in 1948, hence i am able to say my dad was in the trenches in WW1 which is getting a rare thing to say i believe. He was a sergeant in the Lancashire Fusiliers.
Very nice of the yanks to fight for us 2 and a bit years before actually joining the war lol Just wondering how I'd get on reacting to American stuff though. Kudos to you for putting yourself out there 🌹
America meets Europe? Give me strength . He is British. The other guy is German. It's ww1 . And they were singing in German and English. No Gaelic. Blimey don't they teach you anything over there
They are all Europeans none of them are American soldiers, this was the British army and the German army in the trenches in WW1. THis actually happened on christmas day (maybe not the bar of chocolate, but the football game).
you kinda misse the point. The trenches are world war one. The British and the Germans wer fighting eahc other. On Xmas day, the soldiers chose to disobey orders and played football with each other. When the match was over, they went back to killing eahc other.
The Christmas truce did happen in 1914 between the British and the Germans. You should react to extra history's the Christmas truce it goes into it in great detail and is a good story of people overcoming their differences.
The Sainsbury’s advert was done with the British legion a charity for British service personnel. It was to mark 100 years from the actual Christmas truce.
we have that last ad in england but i think we stole it :T but im pretty sure the old man faked his own death so that he could finally see his family since they never seemed to make time for him
The Carol is called Silent Night or Stille Nacht as it was written by a German. This really did happen between the German and British. Very sad when you think of it. Just ordinary men following orders with so much in common.
The British legion is a charity that helps ex service men and women. We have remembrance day to remember them and sell poppy's to raise funds for them.
The way you call sainsburrys sansbury Sainsbury’s is a supermarket by the way. They really sold that chocolate during the war and sold it again for the 100th anniversary of the war
Als I bust out laughing when you said “take care of the elderly...I need to start appreciating my mom more” I bet she was THRILLED with that hahaha “elderly” hahaha
It was a Sainsbury Christmas Advert, Sainsbury in the name of a market like Walmart etc. In the UK there are many popular superstores and Sainsbury's is one of them.
The war one was a true story of when on Christmas Day 1943 (I believe), both troops from UK and the opposing Germany called a truce for a day whilst fighting in the trenches to play football and celebrate. The US had nothing to do with this - Uk, France etc was against Germany, Poland etc.

Yes. The people with British accents in a British advert are obviously American. Because America is the centre of everything and everywhere. 🙄
