So when Napoleon was approaching Cologne one soldier of the town guard allegedly shouted indignantly:"Don't shoot! Can't you see that there are people standing here?!" Yet this is no match for the city of Aachen, where they reputedly paid their guard so badly that they had to resort to doing odd jobs, like minding children, to make a living. The result was that there was aparently nobody around to defend the city.
