Amazing story. Here’s an excerpt:

Unarmed, the Germans entered the cabin – only to see the Americans reach for their own guns. The Germans couldn’t have helped but think they were set-up. Fritz’s mother defused the situation and placed her hands on the Americans’ guns. Tensions remained, however, with a young family caught in the middle of sworn enemies only feet from the other. Things calmed down after one of the German soldiers asked, in English, about the injuries to the American. It was a deep cut that caused severe loss of blood but he would recover.

Dinner was ready to be served. They all held hands – the Americans, the Germans, the German civilians – and Fritz’s mother offered a prayer, asking for “an end to this terrible war, so that we can all go home where we belong. Amen.”
