About this episode
It was the first year of World War I. The sound of gunshots echoed across the countryside. But then, on Christmas Day in 1914, something extraordinary happened. The gunshots stopped. In the early hours of the morning, the soldiers laid down their weapons. Join Anna and Leo as they journey into the trenches to uncover the surprising tale of the Christmas Truce— a story so astonishing, some people said it was only a legend.
