LatestWhen Julia, a young trainee police officer, meets the secretive stranger Nick, she finds herself falling for him almost instantly. But after their first night together, she is shocked to see that Nick has a huge swastika tattoo on his back. Despite all the advice to forget the guy immediately, she decides to investigate the right-wing extremist scene for herself. She follows a trail deep into the forests of the Eifel to the abandoned bunkers of Hitler’s Siegfried Line. In this old World War II defense facility, the young police officer finds the hideout of a terrorist with whom she has more in common than she ever could have imagined.

Eifel forests shot as suffocating prison, not escape.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Westwall/Siegfried Line remains physically present in German borderlands—overgrown, forgotten, yet structurally intact. The series treats these bunkers as Germany's unprocessed trauma made concrete.
Creator Gollhardt intentionally cast Schümann (known for pretty-boy roles) to weaponize audience desire—making viewers complicit in finding a Nazi attractive before the reveal.
