A Christmas Truce

German-Belgian border, Christmas Eve 1944.

John McManus tells James Holland and Al Murray all about the surprising Christmas story of a family trying to survive, and an incredible reunion half a world away.

As three American soldiers seek refuge with a civilian family, they hear a knock at the door. German soldiers, desperate to seek warmth from the snow also walk in.
