📜 History of WWI: The Christmas Truce, Part 1 On Christmas Eve in 1914, soldiers in the trenches sang together across the wastes of No Man's Land. Some were brave enough to step out of their trenches and meet face-to-face, forming an unofficial truce that lasted (with a few blemishes) until the end of Christmas Day. CORRECTION: The art for this episode was done by our very own Extra History series artist, Nick DeWitt, not Joseph Maslov! Nick did such amazing work on this episode and deserves all the credit in the world.
