While enjoying a cup of tea, Lehmann expressed his desire to have a chance with Oetzmann's lover, Heidi. Oetzmann shrugged his friend off with a laugh. As they continued to joke, Lehmann heard a noise outside, and Oetzmann summoned a German Corporal to investigate it. With the soldier dismissed, Oetzmann leaned in to confirm a rumor that Lehmann had heard. Lehmann recounted that his brother-in-law had reported overhearing two generals in the canteen. The generals mentioning that they were bringing in two Big Bertha guns that night. Not aware that a French spy was listening to their conversation, Lehmann joked about having the French army meeting the two lovely "German girls." It is not known whether Lehmann survived after a grenade thrown by the spy ignited several boxes of explosives near the bunker.
