history

According to Roman Beuler, editor-in-chief of Zeitgeschehen at ZDF, the format was to be developed a little more. Another advantage was that additional documentation could be produced. The first documentary entitled On the Hunt for Lost Treasures dealt with the Wettin treasure stolen at the end of World War II .
