Andrew was a young man, thirteen years old and living in Austria, when the Germans invaded. The Austrians, brave and proud, decided to fight back. In the town where Andrew lived, the men and teenage boys organized and destroyed a power plant that the Germans relied on to continue their war effort.

But the thing they had not counted on was the swift and severe retribution that would come from the Nazi invaders.

This increase reflects the commitment of the office and law enforcement to uphold justice, ensure public safety, and hold offenders accountable for their actions.
