Climax of story of truce in the forest?
A miracle was when three American soldiers sought refuge in a a lady's cabin in the woods on Christmas eve. Three German soldiers were there, and the lady insisted there would be no fighting in her house. One of the three American soldiers had been wounded in a battle, and was dying in bed. One of the German soldiers had been to medical school and knew the American soldier would die if he didn't get medical medical help. The only thing that could be done was for the German to remove the bullet from the American and save his life.
Another miracle could be when all the soldiers left the cabin to return to their troops, and the final words on the screen was that the Germans "returned to their country another way" implying they returned to their troops without telling about the three Americans who were en route to the American troops.

Basically, it is a story of people being merciful and kind and voluntarily disarming and choosing brotherhood and peace rather than war for Christmas.
The setting is a cottage near the German/Belgian border. Three lost American soldiers, one seriously wounded, knock on the door of a cottage. Despite the fact that they are "the enemy," the woman lets them in, tends the wounded man, and starts preparing dinner for them.
As they were preparing dinner, there is another knock, but this time it is German soldiers. They ask if they can stay. The woman knows that there is a law against harboring the enemy, and that not only could her American guests be shot, but so could her and her son. Despite this, she welcomes the German soldiers in, but tells them that they need to leave their weapons, and says "this Christmas night, let us forget about killing."
The Germans and the Americans are uncomfortable at first, but they eat together and then start helping each other a little. A German examines the American's wound, and they help them know how to get back to the American lines.
They shook hands and each went their separate ways back to their sides of the war, but for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day there was peace between them, and the story suggests that we should be willing to have that sort of brotherhood all the time, because that is what the idea of Christmas and Christ is about.

What is the Plot of the Truce in the Forest?
It was Christmas Eve when 3 Americans (their enemy) knocked in the cottage of a mother and her son. The mother took them in and healed Harry- the wounded one, and cooked for them (Jim, Robin, Harry). Just as they were setting the table, there came another knock. The son was familiar of the uniforms the men were wearing, they were Germans (German corporal, Heinz, Willi) who was lost and will stay then continue their trip at daylight. The mother will take them in and will be served with a hot meal with a one condition, and that is to not kill each other inside. She ordered everyone to hand out their weapons. While the son was helping to cook more potatoes, a German inspected the wounded soldier when he heard Harry moan. They were all relaxed after their meal.
Just before midnight, they all stood up looking to the star of Bethlehem except for Harry who was sleeping. It was as if they had all forgotten about the war.
At daylight, they had oatmeal, while Harry swallowed broth and drank an invigorating drink from the corporal's wine, sugar and an egg. The Americans and Germans were figuring their way out the forest and to their lines. The mother gave them all back their weapons and wished them good luck and said God bless. The Americans and the Germans shook their hands then went to their opposite ways. The mother brought out their old family bible which was open to the Christmas story, the Birth in the Manger and how the Wise Men came from afar bearing their gifts. Her finger was tracing the last line from Matthew 2:12: "...they departed into their own country another way."
I was the agreement between two warring countries not to fight each other for a small period of, yes you guessed it 20 years. It didn't last though they just didn't get on
