English translation

¹ Literally, thaler, which is a vintage German coin, though some people still use the word to talk about their currency.
² "Fehlschlag" connotes a failure where everything has gone wrong, where something didn't align properly and it resulted in everything turning to ruin.
³Literally, "for whom the hour tolls." He for whom the bell tolls refers to someone who has died. It's possible that And One is referring to Hemmingway's novel about an American soldier fighting in the Spanish Civil War. However, the question, "For whom does the bell toll?" is more generally utilized to express that every death that occurs on earth affects every other human being, as all humans are connected.
