Runs exclusively on Sky. But ZDF has secured the rights and it will therefore run soon in the public.




I have started to watch the series, but I must say that it was relatively slow at the beginning until you're richitg in it but otherwise I agree, the series is great!

What makes this series so awesome for me is that it happened exactly like that. 95% was given absolutely authentic as it was once.

If you are through with the series, I'll gladly send you an article where it says what was ultimately fictional, but that is absolutely little, as good as nothing.

Have fun watching.

I have also seen the first 3 episodes and as Caro says it is a bit slow but for me highly interesting. As that happened at the time (quite a few kilometers away from us) they have issued a warning in our Rhineland-Palatinate that you should not eat grown vegetables, etc. from the garden, well I ate it anyway and still live (Only at night I glow a bit). Funny way the warning was only for those who grew vegetables etc in the garden, the grain crops, corn, beets, grapes, etc. were strangely not affected.

Yes I also found it anything but dragging, on the contrary I had immediately grabbed it.

I asked my mother once if they were informed at that time, we come from the former GDR. She said that they learned absolutely nothing. Only sometime about which had looked "black" Western television and sometime was also warned in the GDR, but about the exact extent of the whole, of course, nothing was reported

The frightening thing is that it could have come around a hair everything still substantially worse. Grusselig or?

Yes, the common people learn almost nothing, are taken for fools. I worked for the US Army for almost 20 years, we repaired or overhauled all main battle tanks and heavy equipment for all of Europe. In the 90's the US Army introduced the M1 Abrahams main battle tank, we were trained for 4 weeks because it had a turbine instead of 12 cylinders, over 1000 degrees hot exhaust gases came out the back. And the steering was also different, it had the throttle on the handlebars, if you steered in a little bit, you automatically gave full throttle, we had to be very careful until we had that down. But what I wanted to say, the aprons of the tank that should protect the wheels were specially stored in a hangar and guarded. We mounted them at the end under guard of 2 US soldiers.
Years later when the factory had closed (were in one fell swoop just under 7000 people unemployed, also had to do with the fact that the wall has fallen and peace prevails, etc.) and the U.S. Army was of the opinion they no longer need the factory for Europe, we have learned that in the aprons was a 2 cm thick uranium layer in the middle, but no one should know, was under secrecy and it also radiated slightly radioactive, we had not been told. But as I said, I only found out years later, now I would like to know how many of my former colleagues have already died of cancer and that was the trigger, we will never know. By the way, I still have the plans of all the battle tanks in the basement, I wanted to sell them to the Russians, but they refused because they already had them.

Now I have to ask directly. How is it regulated there in the case. This is an illness that is probably due to the work (and also the concealment of what danger you have been exposed). Do you have the possibility to get money from the US Army/State in case of illness?

There is no chance, we had to sign at that time a secrecy or better a terms and conditions on the part of the U.S. military, we had no time to read the right through, if there are 200 men behind you and everyone must sign there is no time for the right to read through. I do know that a few people I knew died within 6 months, whether that was the trigger for the work, I can't prove it. I only know that I was awarded a civilian medal by a high colonel (this had to do with the first Iraq war), others of my troop also, but I was the only one who said that 500.00 DM would be better than such a medal, but it did not help. Later I got one because I participated in the Hubble project, my name is even on a board along with 1000 other people who were attached to the telescope and shot into orbit, that was already a huge thing.

I would be interested to know what the uranium layer in the skirts had for a function?

I don't know, it's supposed to be harder than steel and protect the entire barrel in a firefight. The guys also use ammunition with uranium filling that can penetrate armor steel. I've seen them shoot through the rear turret of an M60 main battle tank, which is about 20 cm thick steel.
