Christmas truce (la treve de Noel)

This document is a black and white drawing. The scene takes place in winter,
there is snow on the ground. It's probably Christmas time because there's a
Christmas tree. We can see men, they look like soldiers. They are wearing
warm clothes, long coats and one of them is wearing a cape (cloak). They
have caps or helmets on. We can recognize the German helmet with a spike
on it. The drawing probably dates back to world war 1 (ww1). We have the
feeling that they are celebrating Christmas, they're talking, smoking, shaking
hands. This is surprising because it was the war. This drawing actually
depicts the Christmas Truce in 1914.
