A Truce To Forget

Truce in WWI, yes… but in WWII? Who knows.

As the German soldiers marches towards the unfriendly territories, a glimpse of light might've shown itself for them. This welcoming sign of warmth might mean something, but of course, war never changes. Reality can be harsh... and the "Hope of Peace and Kindness" is one unpredictable creature during these times.

I'm although not well informed about how Christmas were celebrated between the belligerents of World War II. If it was actual truce, giving gifts or learning each other Russian or German? This video concludes my own (comedic) thoughts about how it could've happen if it really was a truce out there.

Nobody gonna talk about how Hans still has the old look of Germany, while Günter has the upgraded design? That is a cool addition
