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

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

As that had happened at the time ( quite a few kilometers away from us ) they issued a warning with us in 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.

I worked for the US - Army for almost 20 years, we repaired or refurbished all the 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.
