Great atmosphere, dialogue and suspense. I thought you did a good job incorporating German phrases into the dialogue, as they added to the story’s authenticity.

Thank you. I am aware that using foreign languages in my fiction is tricky. I try to keep it obvious and simple so as not to push the reader away.
