A REAL CHRISTMAS TALE:

WE ARE IN 1914. THE FIRST WORLD WAR HAS BEGUN. ALL OF THE WORLD'S GREAT POWERS ARE INVOLVED.
ON THE ONE HAND, WE HAVE THE ALLIES OR TRIPLE ENTENTE: ENGLAND, FRANCE AND RUSSIA. ON THE OTHER HAND, WE HAVE GERMANY, AUSTRA-HUNGARY AND ITALY.
THEY ARE FIGHTING SINCE JULY. IN FACT, ALL STARTED WITH THE ASSASSINATION OF THE ARCHDUKE FRANZ FERDINAND OF AUSTRIA WHO WAS GOING TO BE THE NEW KING OF THE AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN EMPIRE; AND JUST A MONTH LATER THE WAR HAS STARTED WITH THE INVASION OF SERBIA.
DAY IN DAY OUT, DECEMBER HAS ARRIVED. GERMAN AND ENGLISH SOLDIERS ARE FIGHTING KILING EACH OTHERS IN THE COLD BATTLEFIELD. THEY DON'T REMEMBER WHY ARE THEY FIGHTING. SOME SHOOTING WAS HEARD AND A DEAD BODY FELT DOWN TO THE GROUND. NOBODY IS GOING TO BURY IT, JUST SNOW.
SUDDENLY SOME GERMAN SOLDIERS STARTED SINGING CAROLS, WE ARE IN CHRISTMAS EVE. HOME WAS FAR AWAY AND SOME SOLDIERS STARTED LEAVING TRENCHS. THEY HAD A SIGN:

JUST BY ONE DAY WAR IS OVER, TRUCE IS DONE.
SOLDIERS PLAYED FOOTBALL AGAINST THEIR ENEMIES.
THEY TOOK SOME PICTURES. YES, THERE ARE IN BLACK AND WHITE BUT REMEMBER WE ARE IN 1914.

I DON'T REALLY KNOW HOW BUT SANTA MANAGED TO ARRIVE TO THE TRENCHS.

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PHOTO!, TWO ENEMIES, TAKING A PHOTO.

THEY CELEBRATED CHRISTMAS EVE SINGING, TALKING, SHOWING THEIR RELATIVES PHOTOS, WRITTING BACK TO HOME AND EATTING A SPECIAL DINNER.

AND THEY COULD DO ANOTHER IMPORTATNT THING, THEY BURIED DEAD BODIES AND THEY COULD CURE INJURIED SOLDIERS.

UNFORTUNATELLY, THEY HAD TO CONTINUE WITH THE WAR, A WAR THAT WOULD ENDED IN NOVEMBER 1918, WITH 5.525.000 ALLIES SOLDIERS DEAD AND 4.386.000 GERMAN SOLDIERS DEAD.

THEN, IF CHRISTMAS IS SO POWERFULL THAT COULD STOP A WAR, LETS SING CAROLS INSTEAD SHOOTING.
