Countdown subjects:
5) German and American Soldiers
On Christmas Eve, Elisabeth Vincken and her 12-year-old boy Fritz took in three American soldiers who were lost in the middle of the Ardennes forest on the condition that they don’t bring their weapons inside.
Some time later, four German soldiers seeking shelter also knocked on her door.
Elisabeth managed to convince them to also leave their weapons outside the hut and observe a truce with the Americans.
Amazingly, not only did the two sides not kill each other, but they even shared Christmas dinner together at the same table.
Moreover the Germans also treated one of the American soldiers who was wounded and gave them a compass and instructions on how to return to their own lines.
4) Russians And Germans
Due to the ongoing human war which devastated their habitats and reduced their natural prey, the beasts became more desperate for food and started targeting the human populace and their livestock.
Russians and the Germans tried to fight the wolf onslaught on their own, shoting, poisoning, and threwing grenades at the wolf packs but it didn’t help because they were too many.
Both German and Russian forces agreed to stop fighting each other and focus on the wolf menace first.
3) A Jewish Woman and an SS Officer
Edith Hahn Beer was a jewish woman born in Vienna, and was studying law when Nazis come to power.
Beer was conscripted for slave labor. After a year, she escaped a train which would supposedly bring her back to her hometown.
With some help, she took on the identity of a nurse and transferred to Munich in 1942 where she met an SS officer named Werner Vetter.
After only a week of courtship, Vetter asked for her hand in marriage and Beer admitted that she was Jewish. Fortunately, Vetter didn’t turn her in but Beer assumed the role of a submissive housewife.
2) ANZAC And Turkish Forces
On May 19, after the turkish attack on Allied lines trying to force them back out to the sea, thousands of turkish and hundreds of ANZACs were left dead on the battlefront.
The sweltering summer sun caused the bodies to rot faster and spread their stench all over the battlefield.
On May 24, a cease-fire was established to allow both forces to bury their fallen comrades. Soldiers from both sides met in the middle and worked together to bury the dead.
1) The British And German Pilots
During the WWII, a German bomber and one of the British fighters were both forced to crash land in different areas near a village called Grotli in Norway.
The British airmen, Captain Richard Partridge and his wingman Lieutenant Robert Bostock, reached a small hut, which they used for shelter.
After a while, they were joined by the three surviving crew members of the German bomber.
The tense atmosphere was defused when both pilots shook each other’s hands and the British shared their meager rations with the Germans.
