Reply to comment by Easypeasym8 in TIL World War 1 a ceasefire between the Russians and Germans was called because of wolves. by Easypeasym8

Here are two links that say it was not true.

Seems to be that it wasn't a singular truce but a series of small ones to help eradicate the wolf population. I'm not 100% confident believing it, but what do I know, I wasn't around then.
