I dedicate this novel to my great-uncle Franz Leiling, whom I only know from stories and who was admired above all for his service on the Western Front during World War I. As a captain, he had a deeply mined, three-storey shaft built that already had the latest technology, such as listening systems for enemy transmitters. Almost two thousand civilians could also be saved through the underground rooms.
