In many cases after the truce lots of soldiers refused to fire on the men they'd just celebrated Christmas with. Partly because of this, but mostly for their insubordinate fraternization with the enemy, Command on both sides transferred the troops involved to different fronts and harshly punished them.

There's actually a bit more backstory. Firstly, the Pope had actually asked the governments to declare a ceasefure, they told him to get lost. Secondly, from what we know today, there were several smaller "truces" and encounters at different parts of the front line, independently. Sadly, both sides made it very clear that an unauthorized ceasefire would carry consequences the next year.

@calebleland8390 2 года назад

History lesson time! After the many truces that happened that day -against orders from above - many soldiers found it impossible to fire on their new friends. There are stories of soldiers firing into the air to avoid hitting anyone. Command had to spend a lot of time rotating new troops in to continue the fighting. High command on both sides knew that if troops were allowed to fraternize they would realize that they weren't that different. The objective is to present the enemy as the "other", someone completely alien and different from their own soldiers. And they changed out their pawns to drag this war on for another years, costing 15-20 million deaths and, in the end, resulting in a flawed treaty, the consequences of which would lead directly into World War II.

@_lordshadow1823 2 года назад

@calebleland8390 2 года назад

@@_lordshadow1823 Sadder yet is when you think about the fact that those same commanders, knowing that the war was to end at 11 am on 11 November, 1918, insisted on making one last push, killing thousands of soldiers mere minutes before the fighting was to stop. No gains made, no ground recovered, just more murdered soldiers. Maybe we should start making the world leaders and their generals go out on the front lines instead of young men and women.

@daveemerson6549 2 года назад

My take on how the truce happened in the first place was just the perfect confluence of events. The Pope had called for a Christmas cease fire that year, which may have had an effect on the troops' mindset (we don't know how many heard about the call to lay down their arms, though). This being the first year of the war, the new way of fighting with machineguns and trenches was still unfamiliar to the troops. Up until WWI, war had been an orderly affair of line infantry firing in volleys, cavalry, etc. War was considered to be "gentlemanly", pauses were granted to collect the dead and wounded, wounded men were granted quarter, etc. The pause in the shelling on Christmas Eve, I think, allowed those ideals of gentlemanly warfare to reassert themselves. Last, you just want to stop fighting. Those men had to be so, so tired. Emotionally and mentally, as well.

Sabaton - The Last Stand

@jmetallover 2 года назад

They had more in common than you think. They each were stuck in the frozen mud and snow with dead buddies and longing to be home with family and friends for the Holiday. That they were able to share a brief moment of humanity in the midst of total insanity says a lot about these men. Never happened again as the Generals made sure of it, this was the troops who called the truce and it is harder to kill someone you know after that. This is also a song of remembrance for those who never made it home from any war for the Holidays. 11/11 just passed and this is a song to commemorate the fallen and hope they have found the peace these men never knew and hope we can all regain that humanity they displayed. Love Floor's Aria during the end credits, the Valkyrie Goddess collecting the fallen and bringing them home to rest just a haunting sound that really capped a great song and a great video.

One thing this song drives home...regarding “putting their differences aside” was that their differences weren’t so distinct. This was a political war orchestrated by the powerful and fought, for the most part, by ordinary men who’d signed up out of patriotic duty. The actual infantry on both sides generally had a lot in common, fighting because they were told to, out of duty, not out of malice towards each other.

@aidanpitts96 2 года назад

Wasn’t there also a statistic that something like 75% of guns in ww1 never fired a gun?

@IIBloodXLustII 2 года назад

The beginning of WW1 was complicated. The Austrians probably had every right to kick the crap out of Serbia for assassinating the heir apparent to the throne. (And yes, the Serbians probably did back the Young Bosnians as they were supplied by the Black Hand). But because of timing, politics, and just absolutely bad luck the war ended up involving most of Europe and spanned the entire world. Saying that it was politicians being politicians is oversimplifying it. Several of the politicians involved tried their hardest to prevent war. Extra Credits has a video about the July Crisis called "The Seminal Tragedy". It goes into some depth about the events leading up to the war. It's amazing how many small things could have happened slightly differently and the last 100 years would have been very different.

In some parts of the front, this Christmas truce actually went on into and slightly beyond new years eve 1914-1915... so, as said... it did hold (in some parts) for quite some time given the circumstances of being at war with eachother.

@the_furry_inside_your_walls639 Год назад

The saddest part about the Christmas Truce is the aftermath of it. Soldiers from both sides of the conflict refused to shoot at each other after having enjoyed a moment of peace and harmony with one another. Commanders on both sides either had the unsubordinated soldiers either moved to other fronts and harshly punished, or had them punished right then and there, sometimes through execution. It was one of the many times in history where human spirit managed to break through the iron curtain of war for just a moment, before getting crushed once again by it. I think the aftermath is especially the reason why Sabaton wanted to make this song especially emotional and sad. It's pretty much a testament to the death of innocence.

The main reason for the truce, apart from it being Christmas in all, was that the soldiers on both sides were completely disenfranchised by the war at that point. They had been promised that the war would be fast and glorious and that it would bring their great nation glory, but when it didn't and they saw no benefit to fighting they wanted to have some end to the violence. And so, both sides left the trenches and in to no man's land, not to fight, but to celebrate. The only reason why the war continued the next day was that the generals forced them. It's a similar situation as with the Vietnam War was for many Americans.

Honestly, the only people who wanted to fight that war were politicians and high ranking officers. In fact, the commanding officers on both sides were so scared that their soldiers would just stop fighting all together, that the day after the truce, both sides ordered artillery barrages to start the fighting again. And any attempt after that for a Christmas truce was immediately squashed.

Christmas Truce is a proof that WW1 was a brothers war. We Europeans have a such big connection with each other and let's hope it will NEVER happen again. Lest we forget

The soldiers of the Christmas truce found out, that they actually had more in common with the poor bastard in the other trench, than with their own generals!

The fact that to this day that cross doesn't have a single bullet hole is astounding because it means not one person shot towards that cross knowing what it meant

I think Christmas Truce will go down as Sabaton’s Magnum Opus.

The Christmas truce was proof that no matter what country you fight for, every grunt eventually gets tired of all the bureaucracy and bs of war and wants some peace time. even if it's for a one night or day

Imagine the amount of raw courage it took to be the first man to climb out of the trenches into no man’s land…

Some groups took part in the truce, mostly they were Germans and Brits, and some did not, and actually continued the war. There are a number of written accounts about the truce, and many letters reached home, but only few of them would even mention the infamous games of footie, and certainly no extended games were played. Some cans certainly got kicked around, that it is very unlikely that there have been full games, although, if there were, there would have been 2 sections where it was most likely, but I can't remember their names. Go check out Warographics' new video about the Christmas Truce if you really want to learn more. It is a fascinating topic!
