Otto beim KSK
In "Otto beim KSK", Otto, a former soldier and survival YouTuber, gets access to Germany's Special Forces Command, one of the most secretive units in the Bundeswehr. The series opens with him in the middle of a tactical shooting exercise in Upper Lusatia, and later he joins the candidates for amphibious training in Key West, taking part in every drill. It's a hands-on, physically demanding documentary series with plenty of adrenaline. If you're into the military, special forces or tough training, one question hangs over it all: how far can Otto keep up when everything is asked of him?
