Sometimes history can inspire

Yes it happened, tbh they were told the war was going to be over by Christmas, unfortunately they were still pouring bodies into trenches so they (very cautiously) celebrated Christmas, even exchanging gifts of cigars and food supplies.

You should see the movie Joyeaux Noël.

How the war resumed:
German soldier: Merry Christmas.
British soldier: Fuck you, its Happy Holidays!!

Is it just me or does the soldier on the left look like Christian Bale?

And the famous football game :')

Obviously not 1914. See german helmet.
