What is the conflict in the story of truce in the forest?

Answer 1

"Truce in the Forest" is a story that takes place during World War II. Independent of each other, some Allied soldiers and German soldiers showed up and knocked on the door of a cabin. The Allied soldiers showed up first and one was wounded. The woman invited them in, even though they were the enemy, and offered to feed them. Later, when the German soldiers knocked, she let them in too, but told them there would be no trouble. She took their weapons, then took the weapons of the Allied soldiers and fed them all. The conflict in the story is the fact that the soldiers were on differing sides. Under different circumstances, they likely would have tried to kill each other.
