Touching, well-researched. There is always need for hope in this sad world. Five Christmassy stars.
It’s time, again to thank you for continuing to post your stories. Merry Christmas
it was a great story as far as it went. The Title of the Story is "Christmas 1914 and After."
The war ended in 1918 and the story ends in 1918. That's not much of an 'and after.'
What happened to the two soldier friends and their wives? Did both couples have children? Did they have family reunions? Did Hans ever bring his family to Germany to meet his brother and family?
You have a great start, but you need a part 2 , and really flesh this story out..
This is to good of s story to end with, they had their wives and they had survived when
so many didn't.
A good factual story, but such an abrupt ending was a downer for me. 4-stars.
Strangely coincidental that I just watched "All Quiet on the Western Front" this week and then to read this wonderful story!
