It was totally unexpected;troops who have been killing each other,embraced and danced, sung songs and stopped the madness of WWI. The truce was observed by the British and German troops in the southern part of Ypres Salient,Belgium.German soldiers began to decorate Christmas trees withlit candles.The surprised British closely watched the action. Carols began to be sung.The Germans called out "TOMMY?" The Britts replied "FRITZ?" The German soldiers invited the British over to celebrate.The guns of war became silient. They shared whisky and cigars,letters were exchanged.A football match occured and for a moment sanity had replaced the madness of war.
