The title almost looks like Sabaton Christmas truce song.
“Silence
Oh, I remember the silence
On a cold winter day
After many months on the battlefield
And we were used to the violence
Then all the cannons went silent
And the snow fell
Voices sang to me from no man’s land”
We were hiding our tears....
In a foreign land where we face our fears
We were soldiers
Carried the war on our shoulders
For our nations…
Just one year, and they can barely see the humanity in the other's side
The high command had also scheduled artillery attacks for the day, and the gunners never really took part in such things
Plus, a lot of the ppl who participated got sent elsewhere
And iirc, this was pre gas attacks
It was only 5 months into the war as well which probably helped seeing as everyone likely still believed the short war idea

That is because it was meant to be.
As I am listening to the song, I have found the madness part 😬
Not just that, but I remember British high command ordered constant shelling during Christmas time to prevent further Christmas truces
Pretty sad
The funniest thing is that while lots of people went for truce apparently canadians just waited for them to come out and opened fire xD
