Synopsis: During World War I, an English soldier and a German soldier meet in a quieter sector of the Western Front during the December 1914. These two men experience the Christmas Truce together and fall in love before being parted by the war. They experience tragedy, but both live and they meet again in London in 1922.
Notes: All images were found online. Some were edited using Canva. I produced the narration from an AI narration service, PlayHT, which gives full commercial rights to the prompter, as with most AI services. I used iMovie to create this video.
