“Christmas Truce” is the first single released for Sabaton’s Album “The War to End All Wars”. The song tells the story of the truce that took place during Christmas of 1914, the first year of World War I. This song has Christmas at its heart as you can hear “Carol of the Bells” many times in this song, mostly from the piano. During this truce, German and British troops stopped fighting after the Germans were heard singing Christmas songs, and that’s when an English-speaking German soldier called out for a temporary ceasefire.
