During the Battle of the Bulge, three Americans, one severely injured, came to a remote cabin. Then lost German soldiers showed up. So they shared a meal.

Neither man lived to see the 2002 TV premiere of “Silent Night,” a retelling of their 1944 encounter. The reunion was filmed and shown on “Unsolved Mysteries” later that year. Fritz always hoped to meet the soldiers again, though he knew his chances of seeing the Germans were not good, given their staggering casualty rate at the end of the war. Elisabeth took command of the scene, Fritz wrote in Reader’s Digest, and had the combatants mingle close together. The next morning, the soldiers prepared to go back to war. He contacted the TV producers about Ralph Blank, a World War II veteran who had been a sergeant with the 8th Infantry Division in 1944. “What he needs is rest and nourishment,” the German said. When the young Wehrmacht corporal started to object, Elisabeth looked at him sternly and said, “It is the Holy Night and there will be no shooting here.” The men spoke a language unknown to the Vinckens. Months earlier, the mother and son had moved to the isolated cottage when their home in nearby Aachen had been destroyed by Allied bombing. The young men had become separated from their unit and were looking for shelter from the cold. Fritz and his mother helped the severely injured man into a bed and tended to his wounds.
