Joyeux Noel to our members and a special gift for all of you .....
Here’s a special Christmas/New Years present for all of our guests and registered members, which will be available for viewing until January 2nd, 2014.
In our Milsurps Team Forum, we have available a wide range of private videos and electronic magazine publications in standard PDF file format, for reading on your regular computers, plus electronic tablets such as iPads and even on iPhones and Androids etc.
Obviously, this content covers a wide range of gun and firearms industry publications for collectors, however, we also make available electronic magazine publications covering a wide variety of other topics, such as stamp collecting, computer publications, digital photography, amateur radio, astronomy, gaming, flying and even fashion magazines. If your favourite other hobby magazine or interest isn’t there, we usually can obtain it on request so every monthly edition is put on-line for you as it becomes available.
Normally, this special content is only made available to our Advisory Panel (click here) and Contributing Members (click here), however, to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to our guests and full registered member community, we decided to put this particular movie on-line for everyone to view in the next week.
For those that haven’t seen it, this is a fabulous movie and highly recommended. We've set it up for viewing in HD (high definition), full screen viewing on your computer (if you choose) and also streaming capable for electonic table ssuch as iPads and most cell phones. Watch closely as there's lots of technically correct old milsurps used in the movie, so keep an eye out for them.
Joyeux Noel (2005)
Academy Award, Golden Globe and BAFTA nominee for Best Foreign Film, Joyeux Noel (Merry Christmas) tells the true-life story of the spontaneous Christmas Eve truce declared by Scottish, French and German troops in the trenches of World War I. Enemies leave their weapons behind for one night as they band together in brotherhood and forget about the brutalities of war. Diane Krüger (Troy), Daniel Brühl (Good Bye Lenin!) and Benno Fürmann (The Princess and the Warrior) head a first-rate international cast in a truly powerful, must-see film.
Fantastic film. I watch it every Christmas, and have introduced it to many friends, most of which have never heard of the truce. Thanks for posting this!
Proud to say my father was one of those Canadians who had "Christmas Dinner" in no man's land with the enemy. He seldom talked about what he experienced however did relate a few stories to me and this was one. He enlisted underage and went overseas (CEF) with the 2nd Battalion Canadian Machine Gun Corps. Told me they got in a lot of trouble over this however the "enemy" were just ordinary guys like he and his buddies.
Great dad, miss him every single day of the year.
Thanks for posting the video Doug.
Why use a 50 pound bomb when a 500 pound bomb will do?
