Thread Name: The Christmas Truce
Subject: RE: The Christmas Truce
Some Truce research and chat from Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook.
WWI: The Christmas Truce BBC Radio4 - The Rest Is History - March 2026
Did the Christmas Truce - which saw a number of unofficial ceasefires between the combatants of the First World War, during the Christmas of 1914 - really occur, or was it a myth? What is the real story behind this legendary event? And, did German and British soldiers really play football across no-man's land?
Join Dominic and Tom as they delve into the history behind one of the most famous and moving events of the First World War.
