    just caught the second half of a documentary about the final day of world war 1, most disturbing.

    commanders on both sides were sending troops into action even though they knew that the armisitice was being signed that morning.

    america suffered the worst casualties with an estimated 3000 deaths that day, france lost 75 although their gravestones show that they died on the 10th november, probably due to possible compensation or pension demands.

    there were many personal tragedies, the most noteworthy was the soldier assigned with telling everybody the war was over(shot by a sniper) and a german general that held half of a village in belgium. he got the news and went out to tell his american foes that it was all over, unfortunately the americans had not been told and shot him dead.
