Question

Frith vincken was living in a small Cottage in the ​

Answer 1

Answer:



Fritz Vincken was a twelve year old boy in Germany who lived with his mother in the Ardennes Forest, in a hidden refuge during the fall of 1944. On the Eve of Christmas, American soldiers found their way to this isolated cottage and carried one of their wounded to shelter. Fritz' mother saw their need and decided to let them in even though she could be killed for doing so. She & Fritz spoke no English, but used hand motions to invite them inside. Not long after a heavy knock at the door caused panic as Fritz and his mother realized that German soldiers were outside. Fritz' mother knew the punishment for harboring the enemy, but acted quickly and told the soldiers outside that they could have a nice hot meal, but must leave their guns outside because she had visitors inside and that even though they may not be friendly visitors, this was Christmas Eve and no one would use guns on this sacred night of peace. German soldiers and American soldiers shared a hot meal together on that special night and the German soldiers even helped the wounded American and then parted company in the morning having shared one night of peace on earth. Fritz eventually moved to Hawaii after the War and recollects this special night of peace between the enemies in the following interview.
