Subject: RE: BS: Christmas Truce (1914)
The only views I expressed were that Britain had no choice but to resist the German onslaught, the British people overwhelmingly understood and accepted that, and that the British army was not badly led.
No living historian has been shown to contradict any of the above.

Grishka, I am disappointed that you can not remember the quotes I have provided supporting the first view.
Sheffield, Todman and Hastings for a start.
If that does not jog your memory, I can soon find them again.
I have shown that several historians specifically support the view, and not one contradicts.

It is true that in the tiny pond that is Mudcat, I am a lone voice, shouted down by people who have not read any recent historical work.
In the real world, intelligent, informed people exemplified by Jeremy Paxman, know what I know.
