Silent Night on the Western Front

And so it was, late on Christmas Eve in 1917, that the guns went silent on the Western Front and the two armies met in the German trenches after flipping a coin to decide. Axis Soldier: Here is a little peace offering. (He hands over a case.) Allied Soldier: German beer! How thoughtful. Axis Soldier: No, it's Belgian. Allied Soldier: Oh. And perhaps your men would appreciate these. (He hands over a carton of cigarettes.) Axis Soldier: American cigarettes! Allied Soldier: Actually, they're Canadian. Axis Soldier: Oh. Well, we might as well enjoy them now while we aren't shooting at each other. Allied Soldier: I couldn't agree more. (They break open the boxes and start to consume their contents. A German plays Oh Tannenbaum softly on his accordion. The Allied soldier pulls a small item out of his front pocket. Here's a little something for yourself. (He hands it over.) Axis Soldier: An iron cross! Just what I always wanted! I, too, have something more to give. (He produces a shoebox and hands it over. The Allied soldier opens it and pulls out a pair of jackboots.) Allied Soldier: These are beauties! And they look almost new! Axis Soldier: Yes. Nonetheless, I assure you that they have made their rounds.
