Four days before Christmas, on December 20, 1943, in the darkest hours of World War II, two enemies met in the skies over Germany.

Four days before Christmas, on December 20, 1943, in the darkest hours of World War II, two enemies met in the skies over Germany. One was a German pilot named Franz Stigler. The other was an American pilot named Charlie Brown. What occurred next had never happened before and hasn't happened since.

They chose not to kill one another.

Even more amazing, in 1990, Charlie and Franz reunited and became best friends. In the spirit of this week's anniversary, we invite you to watch a video of this heart-warming Christmas story:
