    A WW1 soldier is trapped in a trench with the enemy...

    A little long at 12 minutes but I thought it worthwhile. Very well made.

    It wasn't too long, and even I got it. I play chess every week with an old man - I think he lets me win.

    But they were speaking English, so I don't understand why it was sub-titled.
    Oh, I wish I were a glow worm,
    for a glow worm's never glum,
    'cause how can you be grumpy
    when the sun shines out your bum!

    Thanks Chris. One of the best stories I've read coming out of WW1 is the Christmas Truce.

    A young corporal named Adolf Hitler was in the vicinity. He purportedly said, "such a thing should not happen in wartime. Have you no sense of German honor left"?
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.
