This episode was originally recorded & released in Dec. 2014, the first Christmas after I started doing the Dangerous History Podcast. Here it is, reissued with a new intro, 10 years later.
One-hundred-and-one Christmases ago, in the cold, damp, muddy ditches of the Western Front, the rank-and-file of the Allied and German armies spontaneously set aside their hatreds to take a break from mass-murdering each other, much to the dismay of their so-called ‘leaders.’
Join CJ as he discusses:
- The context of the Christmas Truce
- How it happened
- The aftermath, legacy, and lessons to be learned from it
