A morning in January - a morning like any other. Barbed wire, behind a guard shack. There are no signs that this happened a crime that is unique in the history of the German Bundeswehr. The attack on the munitions depot of the second parachute unit near the town of Lebach brought suddenly the surveillance methods of German weapon arsenals in the talk. Three dead and two critically injured have alarmed the public. Defense Minister Gerhard Schröder will have to deal now with calls for reform for the safety of Bundeswehr depots.
While the last honor has been the victims, one of the largest Manhunt of the post-war period in full swing is already running. The reconstruction of what happened the night of the murder, succeed quickly. The ring around the perpetrators seem to close. But one thing is also clear: the awake rules were not properly respected. Three dead and two injured - they are the price for two guns, three carbines, and a box ammo.
A more expensive two-seater conquered Britain heaven: Phantom - the multipurpose Hunter from America. The first of 170 double supersonic fighter which facilitate England's Defence Fund to a total of 4 billion marks, will be tested. The Jet can result in over 11,000 pounds of bombs or missiles. Top speed: over 2,000 km/h; maximum safety, because both pilots can control the machine.
in 1968, the Federal Republic has ordered 88 phantoms after much hesitation. Thus the era of the controversial star fighters is approaching its twilight.
Canada is an attraction richer: the new aluminum Turbo Express. We introduce, audience, ladies and the railway, which can mean tough competition already in 1970 in Europe for the aviation industry.
Bars, cafes and restaurants. 14 cars of the luxury class. The turbine train from Montreal to Toronto with an average speed of 140 kilometres per hour.
Flight attendants only for the first class, the food of your choice. "Luxury is not only in the air" - a slogan of the Canadian State railway.
The comfort not later grew, but the fares. The year 2000 in Canada has already begun on the Rails.
A month was fasted in the country, where every day thousands starving. Then, India called for the end of Ramadan. 500,000 Muslims celebrated their holiday in Delhi with the ritual washings.
In the prayer are all the same - whether beggar or King - so the Muslim belief dictates. All are equal before the law - as it dictated the new Constitution. However, the caste system among the biggest problem of the 510,000 million people to the population growth.
You could almost see it over: the smallest country in the world. But the Englishman of Roy Bates moved "Sealand", a former anti-aircraft Island, in the interest of the world. 10 km off England's coast family Bates had discovered the fortress and now tells them to the sovereign State. Outside the mile, the inhabitants "Sealands" want to create a paradise for individualists and homeless.
Ideas come at dinner - donors with the flood. So hope and wait for the "Sealander", because until now, the State is nothing more than a piece of concrete.
500 companies did know why they went to Hamburg on land. The largest international boat exhibition that Europe has ever seen, opened their gates for 7 days.
Paddle, motor or sailing - the small boats had it this time harder to claim. Today, water has become the vacation playground. The caravan-boat combination for 15,000 marks a concession with 5HP for landlubbers who may choose not yet for the water. But over half a million German citizens spend their leisure time on the waves now.
The easy-care aluminium and plastic boats have now overtaken the wooden planks. 22 countries compete in the boat boom. Almost 300,000 mark and sold on the first day: the most expensive yacht in the exhibition. The water sport fleet in Germany is growing per year to 10,000 vehicles. Also in 1969 still not solved the problem of moorings.
It melted in Inzell. Dutch fans celebrated the bad Witterungsbedingungan but despite their favorites before the start. Speed Skating Championships at the "alley of records". Over 500 metres, the Sprint distance of Eisschnelläufer. repeated Germany's gold medalist Erhard Keller - dark Beanie - the victory. European champion but may call only the point best of four combat.
Gerd Zimmermann from Inzell - with dark cap - the Vice-Champion of Kees Verkeile from Holland is going surprisingly well. The German is ranked 5th in the four-way battle.
But the Dutch must dampen their victory celebration. Dag of Fornäs, just 24 years old Norwegian - white sweater - taken over 1,500 of the Sweden Claeshorn, fought for the Championship. With half a point advantage, he beats Holland favorite.
These tourists have no time to visit the Acropolis. At the start of the 38th rally Monte Carlo's seconds. From the outset, the German team have little chance of a victory. Only hard professionals create the cliffs of the treacherous rally course - without tiring -.
Of 224 car 193 remain voluntarily or involuntarily on the 3,300-kilometre route.
Porsche has a competitive advantage. Exhausted, the teams reach the last track after 7 speed test. It creates a Swede on Porsche. Björn Waldegaard and Lars Helmer received the trophy for the toughest win of the season from Monaco Prince pair.
