Thread Name: BS: Christmas Truce (1914)
Subject: RE: BS: Christmas Truce (1914)
Any evidence of German army murdering children as they went Keith? Any evidence they were told anything different to our army ?

Do you think in terms of fraternising with the enemy, that German officers and British officers dealt with Xmas 1914 any differently? For any different reason?

As people are people, how can it be that German soldiers appear to be under the influence of propaganda whilst our soldiers appear to just have raw facts?

Tell you what, the idea that you need truth in The UK and lies if you are German on order to carry out the same job is about as stupid as it gets. Yes, their wish for empire was a Kaiser induced stupidity. Their wish to mimic the British was tragic.

Pity we had an empire to defend when you think about it. Soldiers had been used to create carnage in the empire. We put Boers in concentration camps. Perhaps telling our soldiers the truth wasn't quite as clear cut as you and other apologists make out after all...
