A lot of those messages are real ones, actually sent by OKM and BdU. They're there to add flavor and immersion.

Several times. Many allies wouldn't be having a happy Christmas after I'd sent almost a dozen of their ships (3 passenger liners, 2 battleships, 5 large merchants, and 1 cruiser) to the bottom of the sea. Have a Merry Christmas IN HELL!! :rotfl:

There are records that show fighting would drop or cease altogether in it's intensity during the xmas day period. The best example would be during WWI, when the English and Germans played a game of football in 'no mans' land :hmm:

Wasnt just that, swapping of items, hair cuts, shared meals aswell I think. One English officer went deep into enemy territory to dine with 2 German Junior Officers. They had quite a good time!

Was very festive apperently up and down the front. Only in a few areas did this not happen, but I believe there were no combat actions.

Heart breaking really... All European, all related in someway, Her Majesty had nephews in the German Household.

Cant see the Taliban celebrating with 42 Cdo this Chrismtmas lol.
