German and British soldiers during the Christmas truce

The German Army was the unified ground and air force of the German Empire between its unification and defeat in World War I.[1]

History[edit | edit source]

On 24 December 1914, a German Army artillery unit bombarded the British Army trenches for some time before unexpectedly halting and beginning to sing,[2] projecting their voices to make their Christmas carols heard by the British troops. Some of their soldiers walked out into no man's land without any weapons, calling a truce.[3] Both troops traded gifts and mingled.[4] This regiment included the general and German Templar Erich Albert, whom an undercover British Assassin disguised as a medic assassinated that same day.[5]
