Explanation: On the Western Front in WW1, unofficial truces were sometimes honored between the warring sides for holidays, especially religious holidays, though the brass tried to crack down on it (often successfully).

This is how I cement my understanding that this is the Russians v Germans, not China v Japan (or other Asian countries). They would have used the wolf attacks to gain an advantage. /S, mildly
