On December 24 in the tragic year of 1914 in a cold night: After 6 months in the muddy trenches, the war is not over even on Christmas Eve, the soldiers were away from home even more than any other day and began to sing the carols were quiet. Although an official truce was rejected by the governments, an eerie silence haunted the empty battlefields on the morning of December 25th. It was then that the British and German soldiers crawled out of their trenches to wish each other a Merry Christmas, take pictures, play games and even exchange some presents.

In this animated story video, Sabaton depict this one-of-a-kind event during the First World War that should later be known as “Christmas Truce”. The brand new video was unveiled during the band’s ongoing Christmas Advent Calendar on their social media channels and website.
