À propos de cet audio

Barnaby takes listeners into the trenches, bomb shelters, and distant battlefields where soldiers and families celebrated Christmas during WWI and WWII. The episode centers on the remarkable 1914 Christmas Truce, when British and German soldiers sang carols across No Man's Land and met peacefully on Christmas Day. Barnaby explores makeshift celebrations — desert trees made from scrub brush, rationed feasts, letters carried across oceans, carols sung in bomb shelters during the Blitz. He shows how Christmas became an act of defiance during humanity's darkest hours, a fragile but powerful assertion of hope, connection, and shared humanity. The episode reveals that wartime celebrations weren't about denial but about maintaining identity and refusing to let war steal everything that mattered.
