The film deals with the exports of the German arms industry. The Federal Republic of Germany is one of the largest arms exporters in the world. Although there appear to be strict export rules, arms exports run into billions of dollars each year.
The authors examine, for example, tank deliveries to Indonesia or Saudi Arabia. High-ranking actors such as the managing director of Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW) and a former state secretary who participated in numerous meetings of the Federal Security Council have their say .
Information from this body is rarely leaked to the outside world, among other things because the members face a prison sentence of up to five years if they violate the duty of confidentiality.
