History Lesson: The Story of the Christmas Truce of 1914
Sadly the 1914 truce was to be the only significant attempt at quieting the guns by the soldiers at the front lines.
On the night of December 24, 1914, the guns along the Western Front were mostly silent and fittingly Silent Night or Stille Nacht in German began to be sung on both sides of the line. World War I then known only as the war and eventually The Great War was less than six months old, and while soldiers were hunkered down for the holidays in trenches it was still far from the horrors to come.
