Rag, it is well known that both sides took steps to prevent fraternisations after the 1914 Christmas Truces.

Dave,
The first duty of government is the defence of the people,

The invading German armies massacred Belgian and French civilians, including children.
Slave labourers were taken from the conquered lands they occupied.

You take the side of the imperialist aggressor, denying their victims the right to defend their homes and families from tyrannical invasion.
Why should they not resist?

Were the Belgian Socialists wrong to be "defending themselves against 'militarist barbarism' and fighting for liberty and democracy?"

Should we have let Hitler have his way too?
