Christmas Eve, 1944. In a hunter’s hut in the Hürtgen Forest, three German and three American soldiers enjoyed a delicious Christmas meal together, while a little further on the Ardennes offensive raged in full force. This remarkable truce was used more than 40 years later by U.S. President Ronald Reagan in a speech as an example of fraternization, when he praised the alliance with West Germany.
