Thread Name: BS: Christmas Truce (1914)
Subject: RE: BS: Christmas Truce (1914)
I only felt ashamed of the actions of individuals; the woman who invented an atrocity story about her sister, the man who enriched himself by staging theatrical enlistment events, and the people who attacked German businesses.

Because of this thread, I was gratified that the programme was clear that far from wanting war, the government was distraught at the prospect but compelled to act.
Also that the people overwhelmingly understood and accepted that.

I have been viciously and obscenely ridiculed here just for holding those same opinions.
They may be just opinions, but they are held by people with far greater knowledge than any of us here.
