    The Christmas truce actually happened in WW1 between British and German soldiers. It was spontaneous between the soldiers rather than coming from the Generals. There was a football (soccer) match too. And they really did sing Silent Night to each other across no man's land.

    No doubt many will have said this is based on a true story on the Western Front (WW1) at Xmas 1914- at several points, German and British troops met in No Mans Land to fraternise and play football. Probably have to remember (unlike how we see the Germans now), Germany had been an ally of England, had a Kaiser who was Queen Victoria's grandson. Plays on the British sense of fair play and empathy. One of the best Xmas adverts in the UK......ever.

A temporary truce and played soccer/football in no man's land. They didn't have anything against eachother. It's politicians, generals etc that sent them to war not the guys fighting and dieing in the war. They was forced to enlist. They didn't know the other was going to gift there Present either.

    This is actually a true story. British and German soldiers played football together on Christmas day as a 24 hour truce.

    Not sure if America was in the war at this time in WW1 but fully understandable that your history is a little distorted in America because i feel sure that if we were back in the 19th century most school children would be taught about the British Empire and as America is now the super power history will be a little bias. I am 73 and my dad was in his early 50s when i was born in 1948, hence i am able to say my dad was in the trenches in WW1 which is getting a rare thing to say i believe. He was a sergeant in the Lancashire Fusiliers.

    Film director Ridley Scott cut his teeth on TV commercials - and thereby quickly learned the art of telling a story to sell a product. Telling stories is something we British are _especially_ good at. We long ago took over from Madison Avenue !

    Very nice of the yanks to fight for us 2 and a bit years before actually joining the war lol
    Just wondering how I'd get on reacting to American stuff though. Kudos to you for putting yourself out there 🌹

    The Christmas truce did happen in 1914 between the British and the Germans. You should react to extra history's the Christmas truce it goes into it in great detail and is a good story of people overcoming their differences.

    The Sainsbury’s advert was done with the British legion a charity for British service personnel. It was to mark 100 years from the actual Christmas truce.

    The Carol is called Silent Night or Stille Nacht as it was written by a German. This really did happen between the German and British. Very sad when you think of it. Just ordinary men following orders with so much in common.

    It was a Sainsbury Christmas Advert, Sainsbury in the name of a market like Walmart etc. In the UK there are many popular superstores and Sainsbury's is one of them.
