JOURNALIST IN THE WAR
I´m a journalist and I am in the landing of Normandie, lots of bombs are falling next to us and a lot of people is dying shooted. We are waiting and looking to a way of crossing the fence to make an atack. Right now a soldier next to me has been killed by a headshoot and I am looking for a hidding place because this one is not safe. A soldier is running and saying that is a way of passing into the enemy zone so now everyone is running inside the enemy area to find estrategic positions there. A BOMB IS COMING TO OUR POSITION...

THE LETTER OF A BRITISH SOLDIER TO HIS MOTHER

In London (England), on he 23rd December 2014, a british soldier wrote a letter to his mother during the First World War and was published on the 17th December 2014. The consequence of this letter was the high fire of  Christmas between german and british soldiers in 1974.

The soldier that wrote that letter to his mother was Alfred Dougan Chater. In the letter, he explained how the people was killed during that war.
This was the beggining of the letter that Alfred Dougan Chater wrote. It's supposed to be written into two parts: the first one on Christmas day while the second one the 27th December.
"I write this in the trenches, in my "retreat" with a wood fire and a pile of straw (...) despite the hard and true cold Christmas"  

"I think today I witnessed one of the most extraordinary spectacles that nobody has ever seen . Around 10 am , he was leaning over the parapet , when I saw a German waving his arms and immediately two of them out of his trench and approaching ours. “ That is how the letter continues.

According to the letter of Chater, the british soldiers were prepared to shoot to he german ones when they go unarmed. " One of our men went to him and in a couple of minutes , the ground between the two lines of trenches was swarming with men and officers of both sides , shaking hands and wishing each other a Merry Christmas ."

"We exchanged cigarettes and autographs , and some took pictures "

" I do not know how long it will last ... Anyway , let's have another lull in the New Year,as the Germans want to see how come the pictures! "

The publication of this letter comes a week after the match played in the british city of Aldershot, between german and british soldiers, in commemoration of the meeting between the members of the two trenches in Christmas of 1914.

Chater was hurt three months after, but he survived to get married with his girlfriend. And he finally died in England in 1974.

LIFE AS A REPUBLICAN

At the end of September, 1945 and after a few years of suffering, seeing how Europa was devastated, with thousands of dead men, injured people and especially after seeing a concentration camp where one wonders up to where there can come the savagery of the human being, I return to join with what stays of my family and friends determined to begin a new life at liberty and tranquility.

Remembering how everything began: that September 1, 1939 I was together with my father and other many Spanish in the doors of the field in which we were sheltered in France after the civil war finished so many of us had to escape from fascist; the conversation suddenly stopped when in the radio it was heard that the German army had invaded Poland, we all think immediately on how many time would passed until these events will affect directly to us since Hitler's anxieties were the control and the occupation of the whole Europe.

The days were passing slowly while all we were dependent on the information of the Geman troops in the war, lamentably on May 10, 1940 they invaded France and we all decide that we could not be stopped before the advance of the Nazi and less after suffering the fascism in Spain for what we put in agreement to fight for the freedom of the people.

We could never imagine the suffering that we all were going to suffer.

LETTER OF A JEWISH MOTHER :

Beloved, yesterday at the last minute I called for the transfer. I have jumped on the train and do not know what has become of my son Richard, He's still in the concentration camp of  Pithiviers, save my child, my innocent baby....! !! How will be crying. Our suffering is nothing in comparation of his suffering, save my little  Richard, my little darling. I can not write well because i am suffering . My heart, my Richard, my life is far, and no one is protecting you, my little baby of  two years. To die, quickly, O my child! Bring me back to my poor son Richard that he is probably suffering  bad treats of the nazi 's man .

Diary from a prisoner

August, 3rd, 1915

Dear diary:

I'm still in this Saint Gilles prison due to my opposition against the German people who conquered this my city of Brussels.

Today, something strange has happened. Like many other times, the German soldiers have come with many people who have done something against them, but, between these people, there was a very unexpected person: they brought a nurse to prison. This is very unusual because a lot of nurses are needed in hospitals to take care of the soldiers. She is in a cell next to me, so I've requested her name, and she's called Edith Cavell. When I asked her what she was doing here, Edith replied: “I saved human lives” I was very shocked by her answer, so I continued asking. “You are here because you saved human lives? How can that be possible? Isn't that what you're supposed to do?” She stayed silent for a while and then answered: “Yes, I am, but it seems like I don't when it comes to lives from people who were born in countries from the Allied forces. I personally hate wars, they're a nonsense; in my opinion, a life from a British soldier is as valuable as that from a German one. My job is to save people's lives, so that's what I do. If a German man is injured, I'll help him, if a French one is, I'll help him to.” I became interested in what she was saying, so I encouraged her to tell me her story, and that's what she narrated to me:

“It was in November when Brussels fell into German hands. I was sent to a hospital where I did my best to try to save many soldiers from all the fronts. Each day, there were more people coming, and they told me how bad the German soldiers were being with them and how desperately they were trying to escape from the occupied zone, so I ended up helping them. I could save many lives for ten months until a German man saw me and reported me. I didn't deny at any moment the charges I was accused of. I admitted with dignity I had taken more than a hundred British, French, and Belgian soldiers in my house, and then helped them escape.”

I've admired her great courage and responsibility, I hope everything goes through with her.

September, 28^th, 1915

Dear diary:

This morning, the German wardens have carried Edith to an isolation cell. This is because the news of a nurse's detention have reached and angered the Allied countries and other neutral ones like United States and Spain. They have demanded the application of the Geneva's Convention, which says that the sanitary personal must be protected. But the German soldiers are annoyed because of that and have carried her there so that she can't talk with anyone.

October, 12^th, 1915

Dear diary:

I don't have good news for you today. Unfortunately, and despite the various mercy requests and opposition of some German senior officials, Edith has been executed today. They have buried her body next to the prison. I know she died convinced that she did what she had to do: to help the people. I will never forget her, she's a bravery symbol for me, and I'll never forget the irrational cruelty of those German people too. Let her rest in peace.

Peter Lane

AFGHANISTAN IN WAR

Hi, I'm Mike, this time informing from Afghanistan, today, 24  December 1979 it have already passed almost a year since the people's democratic party of Afghanistan (P.D.P.A.) took the power by the force with a military coup that they have named the Saur Revolution. The riots that have no effect in the government even the uprisings of the people became a waste of time. 

(1979)

A year after this events ,today, the war have officially started. The war between the Afghanistan's resistance forces and the soviets. In the side of Afghanistan resistance the United States Of America (USA) helped to defeat the soviets invasions.




But now is when I finish giving objective information and I start with my personal opinion. Probably you are asking yourselves while your are reading this horrible article about the horror of a new war and everything that it spouse. Why did the USA have enter in an other war? If you are from that country you'll probably answer "because we want to spread the freedom that we have here and to finish the war" But if you have a bit of consciousness you'll probably have answered that they want money. But, How are they going to make profit of a war in which the participate? Easy, petrol, is one of the most valuable liquids in the world and is those territories are rich in it.



And the last but no less important question that I'm going to ask a lot of times is:  Is this going to last for ever? I mean, when are the wars going to end or When is the USA going to stop killing people because of economic reasons? Probably 5, 10 , 30 years? I hope the horrors that I have seen the first day of war are not going to be repeated for ever.
