Christmas means peace :) The video portrays the Christmas truce of 1914, where British and German soldiers ventured into No Mans Land to greet one another and exchange gifts. It begins with the German troops singing Silent Night, before the carol is taken up by the British men sitting just a few hundred yards away in their trench. Eventually a young British soldier tentatively raises his hands and walks out into No Mans Land - so called because so many were killed in the space between rival trenches. The two sets of troops then greet each other and play a game of football before exchanging parting gifts.
