In the winter of 1914, a miracle happened. The Christmas Truce of 1914 is one of the most extraordinary incidents of World War I and of all military history. Starting in some places on Christmas Eve and in others on Christmas Day, the truce covered as much as two‑thirds of the British-German front, with thousands of soldiers taking part. Perhaps most remarkably, it grew out of no single initiative but sprang up in each place spontaneously and independently. Nearly everything described here is drawn from firsthand accounts in letters and diaries of the time.
