Snoopy, The Red Baron, and the Christmas Truce of 1914

The Christmas Truce of 1914 - thenewamerican.com

Short excerpt from this article:

"What if they called a war and peace broke out instead? That's exactly what happened during the Christmas season of 1914 when the soldiers themselves called a truce and, had it not been for intervention by the higher authorities on both sides, World War I might have ended."
