World War II stories, just names, three

Christmas Eve truce.

This is a small episode in the Second World War, which took place on Christmas Eve 1944.

Near the Belgian border, in the Ardin Forest region of Germany, there is a small wooden house where a family lives who have fled the Allied bombing.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, and the mother hurriedly blew out the candle and opened the door. Outside the door stood a soldier in a steel helmet, and behind him a man lay on the ground, blood stained red with snow. One of them spoke a language she did not understand, and my mother knew immediately that they were American soldiers, enemies of Germany.

The American soldier did not understand German, and the mother and son did not understand English, but fortunately both of them could speak a few words of French.

Two American soldiers, one named Jem and the other Lobin, and the wounded soldier named Harry. They were separated from their own troops (the First Army) and spent three days in the forest, hungry and cold, desperate.

The mother instructed her son: "Go and get Herman, and ask for six potatoes." Herman was referring to the only rooster that had been left behind, which he had intended to enjoy when his father, who had been drafted to work as a civil defense firefighter, returned home for the holidays.

While the table was being set, there was another knock on the door, and this time, there were four German soldiers standing outside the door.

The son was so frightened that he couldn't move, because harboring enemy soldiers was punishable as treason. Although the mother was also afraid, she calmly greeted her and said, "Merry Christmas!" ”

We couldn't find troops. Can you take a break here? The corporal who led the team asked.

Of course," said the mother, "and a hot meal." But there are three other guests here, and you may not consider them friends. We're going to have Christmas Eve, and we're not allowed to shoot here. ”

Is it an American soldier? ”

Listen," said the mother solemnly, "you, and a few of them, can be my sons." Tonight, let's forget about it. ”

The four German soldiers froze for a moment. The mother clapped her hands a few times: "Enough has been said, please come in, put the gun on the pyre in the corner of the house, it's time for dinner!" ”

The German soldiers were in a trance and obediently put down all their weapons, and the American soldiers did the same.

The German and American soldiers huddled nervously in the hut, their expressions very embarrassed. The mother looked calm: "Now, Herman may not have enough distribution, go and get some more potatoes and oats, the children are starving." ”

When the son returns from the storage room to find a German soldier examining Harry's wounds, it is as if the bitter enemies have become a family. This peculiar truce lasted until the next morning. The mother and son made a stretcher out of two bamboo poles and the only tablecloth they had, and Harry lay down on them, before escorting the guests out the door.

The German corporal pointed to the map and showed the American soldiers how to get to their lines. Then, shake hands with each other and say goodbye. Mother said excitedly

Children, I hope that one day you will all be able to return to your own home. God bless you all! ”

The Germans and Americans walked in opposite directions and disappeared into the white forest.

1 Christmas Eve truce. 2 Two is nine, and less is more. 3. Release water to break the ice and block the enemy's pursuit.

The German, Italian, and Japanese fascists wanted to control the world.

The result was defeated by the anti-fascist coalition and peace-loving people.

This is the story of World War II.

Why don't you go and search for the soldiers in the city?

Go play Call of Duty and Easy Medals.

1 The Italian Liberation Front is made up of the Italian national gendarmerie and special forces.

2 The English said to the French at Dunkirk: "This is France, and you cannot withdraw to England."

3 The Germans could not attack Moscow for a long time, so they arrested the deserters and set up special forces to storm them, and later the Soviets also learned this set, which is the famous punishment battalion.

4. The Soviet Union did not have a warlord.

5 Because in 40 years, the British Royal Fleet beat the French fleet that had been disarmed by the Germans to only a few search warships (France was the fourth navy in the world at that time, and the French refused to hand over the command of the fleet to the British, and wanted to command the fleet themselves), so when the British landed in North Africa, the Leuselle shelled the British landing force, causing 2,000 people**.

6 In order to escape, the Italian army fought the Soviets in Stalingrad, and most of them died.

7 German intelligence had a Soviet spy in 9 people.

8 The partisans in the USSR were somewhat better equipped than ordinary Soviet soldiers.

9 The reason why the Luftwaffe shot down so many was because of their large number of bombers ** (the bombers did not have any escort).

10 The Germans often sent Soviet prisoners of war to the Soviet Union as spies, but these "spies" often disappeared.

11 The Soviet Union had a "Throne" organization, which was anti-Stalin during World War II, and German intelligence established communication with it and sent intelligence deployment to the "Throne", but the "Throne" was the anti-German intelligence service of the Soviet NKVD organization.

The Sherman tanks in the 12 Soviet armored forces were diesel engines, all were no longer Ronson lighters.

13 If Germany had held out until 50 years, then they would have expected the French jet Air Force Dassault Tempest (1946), the Soviet T-54 steel torrent (1947), the British anti-tank rocket armored vehicle (1944), and the American experimental supersonic aircraft X-1 (1948), it was not that Germany only had black technology, Germany just captured the elites of various occupied areas to develop it.

14 The Wehrmacht was originally prepared to participate in the military (against Hitler) on the eve of World War II, provided that Britain would attack Germany first, and as a result, Germany would attack Poland first, and Britain and France declared war on each other, and the plan was aborted, which was said by the Nuremberg trial Jodel (I don't know if it was Yodel, but the plan was true).

15 Britain had an "impossible plan" to declare war on the Soviet Union in May 1945 with the United States and the remnants of the Nazis, only to be stolen by the Soviet military attache in London, and the plan was aborted (it is worth mentioning that the Americans sided with the Soviet Union this time).

When the Allied troops drove to the banks of the Rhine, up to Winston Churchill, General Patton down to the ordinary soldiers did the first thing to do, without exception, was to pee, and the above two celebrities were still photographed.

Once 15,000 combined forces of the United States and Australia attacked a Japanese-occupied island of Kiska, after preparing for 2 hours of artillery bombardment, the United States and Australia landed and lost 25 soldiers in the battle and completely controlled the island, of course, if there were indeed Japanese defenders on the island, this number should be expanded.

The sinking of the German submarine U 120 was caused by the failure of a flush toilet on board, which caused seawater to back.

A British stronghold in Burma received news that a large number of Japanese troops were coming to the stronghold, so they packed up their equipment and supplies, made a list, and waited to surrender to the Japanese troops who did not know when they would arrive.

A German officer spotted two British soldiers holding down about a company of Italian prisoners of war and, in order to rescue them, fired at the British. As a result, the Italians finally ran, but towards the British positions.

The Spanish Civil War, no matter how fierce the battle was, was the time for dinner! Just shake hands and make peace immediately! Finish eating and continue.

Generally speaking, there is no such thing as "average level" for pilots. You're either an ace or you deserve it. For example, Japan's ace pilot Hiroyoshi Nishizawa shot down more than 80 planes, but he died in a cargo plane accident.

An Allied pilot who was shot down over the Italian island of Sicily (most likely under artillery fire) and parachuted into the middle of a large group of Italian troops, the pilots thought that this time the game would be over, but they never expected that an Italian general would offer his guns and hands: Please accept our surrender. Thus was born the legend of a pilot capturing 2,500 Italian soldiers.

The first German soldier to die was killed by Japanese soldiers.

The German 11-man squad took the Yugoslav capital.

Italy, with its own anti-aircraft artillery, killed its own air marshal.
