December 1942 saw the bloodiest Christmas in the history of mankind. From the islands in the Pacific to the China front, from the trenches in Russia to the battlelines in North Africa, in the skies over Europe and in the depths of the Atlantic, men were killing each other in greater numbers than ever before. The Holocaust continued, and innocent civilians were murdered by the thousands throughout the evil Nazi empire, even as the perpetrators celebrated the birth of Christ.
At the same time as the slaughter continued unabatedly, throughout the world there were random acts of kindness, born out of an instinctive feeling of the essential brotherhood of man. These gestures also straddled religious barriers and sometimes included those of non-Christian faiths. Even some Japanese, otherwise embarked on a self declared crusade against the West, relented for a few precious hours in acknowledgment of the holiday.
At the same time, Christmas 1942 saw the injunction of “good will to man” distorted in ugly and callous ways. At Auschwitz, SS guards played cruel games with their prisoners. In Berlin, the German heart of darkness, Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels spent time with his family while still buried in feverish fantasies about the Jewish world conspiracy.
Christmas 1942 saw the entire range of man’s conduct towards his fellow man, reflecting the extremes of behavior, good and bad, that World War Two gave rise to. The way the holiday was marked around the world tells a deeper and more universal story of the human condition in extraordinary times.

Funny , we call them world wars.
Yet the vast majority of the southern hemisphere is either minimally or not impacted at all.
I’m aware Brazil had troops in Europe of course but a good chunk of the world saw zero impact good or bad in their day.

Are you serious? Australia, South Africa and New Zealand played full parts long before and throughout the US’s involvement in either conflict.
Your comment is frankly insulting to those nations and their servicemen.
Additionaly, one of the earliest naval confrontations of WW2 took place in the South Atlantic - known as the Battle of the River Plate - although it was far from confined to Montivedeo Harbour or that estuary.

Wow Marquis how ignorant of you. The entire world was impacted by the second world war. There were pro nazi coup attempts in Iraq, battles in equatorial Africa,and other examples.
