A brigade commander in Saxon 24. Infanterie-Division / XIX. Armeekorps reveals how both of his regiments (at Ploegsteert Wood and Rue du Bois) famously truced with the British at Christmas 1914, and his feelings on the subsequent press coverage. First published in English in our book "Fighting the Kaiser's War - The Saxons in Flanders 1914-1918" (Pen & Sword 2015), Generalmajor Kaden is the highest ranking German witness to the Christmas Truce to have left us a written account of this extraordinary event!
