It was a general's worst nightmare but a dream come true for the rank
and file dodging death in the trenches. On Christmas Day in 1914, British
and German troops climbed from their dugouts and met as friends in no
man's land. They shook hands, shared beer, swapped rations, played
football. For a small moment, history was suspended and the killing
ceased.
