"The Germans, who had been engaged in fierce trench warfare with the British and French, spontaneously erected small Christmas trees and lights outside their trenches, and began singing [Christmas]* songs. Not long after, across “no man’s land,” the British and French troops began caroling." Via iowntheworld
*I'm sure if you asked every man who was there that day, they would not have said they were singing "holiday" songs. Even historical narratives seem to be PC. Did "O Tannenbaum" mean "O Holiday Tree"?
