Subject: RE: BS: Christmas Truce (1914)
Now Sheffield has been moved from his position as a supporter of Keith's line, any takers on when we'll grt round to learning what Keith believes based on what he has read rather than his hifding behind carefully selected Cut-'n-pastes.
How exactly do you know what "all historians believe" if you have not read them, and are unable to read, let alone discuss the list you were given of what aspects of the war modern historians are studying.
Surely you are not going to claim that the half dozen you have presented constitute "all historians" - or maybe Britain only has half a dozen?
We really do need to know so this crisis in historical study.
And please do not claim that nobody has presented an alternative view - historians haven't changed their minds over the last few decades otherwise we would have heard about it - and the "incorrect version would no longer be taught in schools - as it is.
Now - you evidence about those "all historians" - I don't think!!
