Today, we’re bringing you a special bonus episode from our colleagues at WELT.

Originally released in German, Ernstfall is now available in English.

What if Russia attacked NATO? How would Germany respond? And where are our weaknesses? We wanted answers. In a wargame, we simulate an attack on NATO’s eastern flank.

Script and Storytelling: Antonia Beckermann, Carolina Drüten

Production: Marvin Schwarz
