description: "The flies have conquered the flypaper" Without warning the Nazis invaded the town. They seized the Mayor's home as their headquarters; they rationed the food; they publicly shot the first men who rebelled against their oppression. They were the conquerors. But the hatred was deep in the eyes of the people. Their cold, sullen silence fell like black snow, chilling the soldiers and filling the with fear. And as the conquerors' nerves wore thin, they shot at black shadows in the night.
