The Story Of Snoopy's Christmas

And now with the report on the Christmas Truce talks
We switch you to Red Sector 1
Somewhere behind-the-lines
(Static)
(Red Sector)
Here, Red Sector, with the snow covered den less than 10 yards from where I am
speaking, the fate of the Christmas truce is being decided by representatives
of each nation
«Time» is the key word hre today. For rumor has it that the Germans may tak
advantage of today’s clear skies and launch an all-out offensive with Von
Richthofen’s flying circus providing air cover
Just at this moment coming out of the truce tent, I think I recognize Colonel
Percy Devonshire of the British truce team
We shall try and get a word in with the colonel
«Oh Colonel, Colonel Devonshire!
I wonder sir, if you could tell us how the talks are progressing and if you see
a solution in sight»
(Colonel Devonshire)
«Yes, quite frankly
It seems to me that the Kaiser’s emissary is merely stalling for time,
and that negotiations are not far from breaking down. I would like to add,
however that an alert has been issued to all Allied fighting services in case
this stalling tactic is indeed being used to get the German army into position
for a sneak attack. If you will look just there to the areodrome,
you’ll see our aircraft warming up and waiting for our signal, in case of a
break out in the truce talks. We-»
«Forgive me for- Forgive me for interrupting Colonel, but isn’t that Von Cluve,
the German emissary?»
«Why, yes it is! Please excuse me now, I must return to the General.»
The sounds which I’m sure you must be hearing are coming from the direction of
the truce tent, which has just been emptied of all it’s occupants.
The truce talks are over! Here, in an official bulletin just handed me,
is the news we have all been waiting to hear. The Christmas truce has been
signed! And so, after a long and tedious-
What’s that? Oh no! The- The planes at the aerodrome are all taking off!
«Colonel! Has the news of the truce reached them yet?»
Something has gone wrong! Stand by, please
And now, here in a bulletin just handed me may be the reason for our planes
taking to the skies; «Due to a possible break in communications,
the planes of the Richthofen flying circus have been sighted passing over the
line»
So the Baron is at it again, and the Allies have sent their planes skyward to
meet the threat. We can only hope that all the ships pass in the sky,
return to base soon
Meanwhile on the Western front, the war has stopped, except for scattered
cannonfire on the horizon
