Fear The Germans, Even Those Bearing Gifts
Their hiding place had been unassailable throughout the war. The Germans tried everything, from those damned German Shepherds to the Brandenburg Commando units, but all the efforts to draw out the Franks proved in vain.
And then, one day, the enemy withdrew. Lacking any contact with the outside world, the Franks wondered if the war was over, or if this was another German trick.
After several weeks, Anne poked her head from their sanctuary. She saw no sign of the Germans. Just a giant wooden horse left behind as a gift. It was a time for celebration. Victory was theirs.
