It was Christmas Eve 1914 and German soldiers had snuck across no man’s land seeking what little joy they could find in a tree amidst World War I. After running into drunken french soldiers the unthinkable happened.

The Canadian Christmas truce stories were written down in Geneva 😂
So beautifully sad
I really love the little dionysus on the wine bottle
😂yeah they wanted them to have a hangover too so they wouldn't attack until theirs was over.
Bro the next week they were prob killing each other
WW1 was such a stupid war where they had not officially yearly peace agreement each Christmas were Germany tried to play with Canada one year and got immediately shot up
Hahah- I see that Hades reference.😉
Another fun fact about the Brits and Germans during the war: They both respected each others customs. The Germans did not shoot during tea time, and in return, the Brits did not shoot during Abendbrot
"Hey you arent one of us!…
Get these guys a drink!"
