Soldiers had been singing hemms and brang Christmas trees around the trenches, even while there was fighting and shooting, People talked and hung out, and gifts like food or buttons, haircuts, and a football match.

Claimed that the Armenians were working against the ottoman empire with the russians. In reality there was a movement to create a modern state and the turks nationalism would be apart of this and in order to create a modern state they need to get rid of armenians [Ottomans were in a state of decline already when they joined the central powers] The Young turks: a radical group was formed within the empire and wanted to create a modern Turkish state using extreme nationalism. They felt that the Arminians were in the way of that. Arminians were fairly propsurse despite what they were facing(like the holocaust) During the war Germans were allies with the turks, several Germans placed in turkish and the photos we will see were taken by Armin Wegner: German soldier, he started to document what the turks were doing when he saw, and intended to inform the Germans about their allies. The turkish prevented Armin Wegner. If the Turks are going to do this? Why does it make sense to do this while a WW is going on: all the other countries are distracted while they can do this and cover it up.(like the holocaust) [Why is it difficult for the Germans to intervene? They are allies and the Germans are already surrounded and can\'t afford to lose their allies] The Turks get away with this and don\'t get any repercussions with it.

One of the most infamous people in history with regards to genocide is Adolf Hitler, who is referenced in Doc 2. It is clear from his commentary that he got his ideas about genocide(during WW11) from what the Turks did to the Armenians.
