If you don't know, it was made to visualize the Christmas Truce, an event in WWI in which Germans, British, and even some French co-mingled on Christmas Day. The truces were not unheard of, but the Christmas of 1914 truce had a remarkably high participation.

Very well done commercial.

I was raised Jewish, this made me cry like none other. Christmas is something I get to participate in now because of my wife and it's wonderful.

There's also a very good movie about the Christmas truce, the movie is called "Joyeux Noel" (Merry Christmas)

and I believe there is a recorded instance of the two sides playing soccer/football....

EDIT: After reviewing the article...yes, it did happen. Although most likely not on such a flat surface...

Thanks Cannon, I was right about to write that. Great movie.

And also I'm pretty sure that the officers on both sides got shot/put in jail for that.
