You know, there were more than 100 tunnels dug in WW1. Most were used to insert explosives to blow up the trenches above them. The largest man-made explosion at the time was one of those.
Losing track of one of those tunnels isn't really noteworthy, and the French have no love for the Germans. On their retreat back to Germany, they destroyed the Alsace region "just because."
Most people today think of the Allies and Axis countries as equivalent, but even as early as WW1 the Axis had a reputation as mean and brutal.
