At such encounters, Ernst had difficult time hiding his laughter. He had to

crumble down as if he had lost something. Other times, he had to pull his
neckerchief on his mouth to camouflage the glee with a cough.

That was in the past. Dieter was now grown up. But he was still unusual.

Ernst had often thought that Dieter lived in a whole different world. The
employees never saw the boss's son in the workwear that the great farmer loved

to wear: brown leather trousers that went to the knees, heavy socks and wooden

shoes. Junior dressed in black corduroy trousers and impractical lace-up shoes.
Ernst never understood the boy, who only kept to himself. Only if it was highly

necessary, he spoke to the other workers. Ernst often wondered what Dieter was
doing when his light was shining in his room at night.

"Everything should be perfect. The farm is specifically picked and well selected
by the Reichsmarschall Göring. We receive chosen masterpieces and art of great

class gathered from all over Europe. The art pieces are to be kept here on the

farm. When der Führer’s grand museum are built in Linz, the Nazis will then
select which pieces are to be exhibited at the new museum in Austria. I hope you

realize that it is a very great honor, which not many will experience. We are very
lucky, " Stormann yelled out with enthusiasm when he showed Franz and Ernst a

drawing of the three bunkers.

When the pebbles of the courtyard were crushed under the tractor, Ernst
thought his dad would be proud if he realized that Ernst made an important

effort for his country of birth, although he wasn’t a scholar.

In front of Dieter stood a soldier whom he assumed to be his peer in age. He

looked sober and sweaty - it glided down his boiling cheeks.

"is there trouble?"
"Yes, Mr. Stormann. Listen how the men are shouting."

It was Dieter who commanded the people who built the bunker. He - and only he
- could issue sentences to the workers.
