Christmas Truce

For military and political leaders one of the worst things that could happen in a war is fraternisation with the enemy. As people who  know eachother tend not to be aggressive against eachother – sadly exeptions happen.

Anyway – one of the best kown fraternisations happen druing the Great War at the Western Front at Christmas 1914 – unsurprisingly named Christmas Truce.

As soon as I had seen Wargames Illustrated did a vignette in their „moments in history“ series I must get them. And here are the results.
