My first escape was merely the beginning. Two months after reaching safety at West Berlin University, the call came again—to dig. To risk everything *again*. We constructed not one, but two clandestine passages beneath the Wall, a desperate lifeline for friends and family trapped in the East. The risk of betrayal was a shadow we couldn't outrun, and it eventually materialised, yet our resolve held firm. In the end, this harrowing operation assisted 29 souls to freedom. This is the unwavering human spirit tested against an iron curtain.
