Fritz Vincken lived a fairly ordinary life, apart from one instance when he was twelve. He and his mother welcomed two cold American soldiers and their wounded comrade into their home, and just a few hours later, welcomed in three cold German soldiers who appeared at the door. Fritz' mother ordered the men to lay down their arms, and declared there would be no shooting there that night, as it was Christmas Eve. Fritz, his mother, and all the soldiers shared a warm Christmas meal, and allowed the wounded American to recuperate. The soldiers left the following morning, headed back to their separate lines.
