TV outlook: Munich “crime scene”: “Charlie” rehearses the war in Germany

At the latest since the speech by US Vice President JD Vance at the Munich Security Conference, a new age may have been broken down for the Federal Republic – and the Munich “crime scene” has been rehearsing the war on German soil.

The Commissioners Franz Leitmayr (Udo Wachtveitl) and Ivo Batic (Miroslav Nemec) have to deal with a very special environment in one of their last cases. In the episode with the title “Charlie”, which is to be broadcast in the first tomorrow at 8:20 p.m.

These “Civilians on the Battlefield” (civilians on the battlefield) work as extras for the US Army and play a large NATO maneuver at an American base near Munich War.

Who or what is “Charlie”?

And in this trial use, Leitmayr and Batic are drawn in their 96th case when the almost naked and blood-covered body of a young woman is found in a military vehicle on the Isar. Because this young woman was one of these cobs, and in a disused camp on the military area with the title “Charlie”, the commissioners not only find traces of blood and the clothes of the dead – but a second body.

Because the commissioners suspect the double murderer in the ranks of the numerous cobs, they absolutely want to solve the case before the maneuver is ended and all leave. Batic therefore mingles with you – an undercover use.

Meanwhile, Wachtveitl is investigating Military Police Officer Jennifer Miller (Yodit Tarikwa). And the fears of him and batic (“oje, when the whole command chain and competence shit”- “Department of Department, Police President, Pentagon”) is not confirmed on the contrary. Because the pregnant mother of two children is interested in an education as well as the Munich investigators – even if an argument about war and peace, the meaning and nonsense of weapons and a possibly utopian pacifism should not be missing.

“Where this job drives one everywhere,” Wachtveitl told Bayerischer Rundfunk. “We were already inside the Olympic Counter, in the sewage system, in the zoo and now we are turning on the military training area.”

Producers saw a “mission impossible”

“When the screenwriter Dagmar Dagmar Gabler came up with her pitch, who lets the Munich crime scene play with a major maneuver from the US Army, it sounded after a flawless” Mission Impossible “,” says the producer Oliver Schündler and Boris Ausserer in the press booklet to the film. “But the desire for this exciting substance, in which a murder case is told during a NATO exercise for military emergencies, was too great to try it.”

According to your knowledge, – in addition to documentation and current reporting – no film team for filming was approved on the military training area in Hohenfels, which has existed since 1938.

In the interview of the Bavarian Radio, Nemec speaks of an “absolutely extraordinary, highly interesting and very intensive shooting experience”. “The current political situation naturally makes this experience all the more agile and urgent.”
