Now, however, no firing was going on for the town had been taken.

The streets were full of armed men wearing the German uniform and helmet.

We passed down them and were able to see into the houses.

In some of these were German soldiers engaged in looting and in other things so horrible that even the unmoved Oro turned away his head.
We came to the market-place.

It was crowded with German troops, also with a great number of the inhabitants of the town, most of them elderly men and women with children, who had fallen into their power.
