Question:

What was the longest battle of World War II?

The Battle of the Bulge

Well, there was no truce in 1914 - you have your dates wrong... lol

November 11, 1918 is Armistance Day - signed in the forest of Compiegne

I had to google this one cause of the year (I thought the date was wrong, so I checked it), so I added that forest thing as an extra XD

Nope, this was a unofficial truce made by the soldiers of Britain and Germany, once the officers found out they banned truce-making by soldiers on this day.

Whoops - Christmas - I remember that now... my bad - I was thinking offical... lol

At 9/29/05 10:31 PM, Nomader wrote:

Correct again:

On Christmas Day, 1914, German and British troops called a temporary truce and serenaded eath other with Christmas carols from their opposing trenches. There were even a few calls for visits across the "No Man's Land" and small gifts such as whisky and cigars were exchanged. When British commanders learned of the impromptu cease-fire they were enraged and vowed that the "Christmas Truce" would not be repeated in following years.

That's five for you, zero for everyone else. I'll post a new question in half-an-hour, until then there is one question a page back that no one has answered.
