Otto beim KSKSeason 1

In the first episode, Otto gets rare access to the KSK, Germany's most secretive military unit, and finds himself in the middle of a tactical shooting exercise in Upper Lusatia. What really sets this elite force apart from everyone else?

In episode 2, Otto heads to Key West, Florida, with Germany's special forces command KSK and joins the candidates for amphibious training – underwater, readying tactical inflatable boats on the open sea, and at the US Army Special Forces training center. How will he hold up when precision and endurance in the water are everything?

At the KSK's Modular Function and Training Center, Otto learns tactical close-quarters combat techniques – realistic, uncompromising and under enormous physical and mental pressure. How will he hold up in direct man-to-man fighting?

In episode 4, Otto heads to the KSK's modern shooting training center in Calw and then on to a special forces training facility in Georgia, USA, where he trains precision weapons handling alongside the candidates under extreme conditions. How do you keep total control under pressure?

In episode 5, Otto heads into Canada's arctic cold alongside the KSK candidates, facing -27°, days-long marches, nights in tents and improvised emergency shelters. How do you stay disciplined and mission-ready when the environment itself turns hostile?

The survival training in Canada continues: after nights outdoors at down to -27°, Otto and the KSK candidates face the ice jump, along with self-built shelters and improvised fires. How long can anyone endure this cold?

In episode 7, Otto goes back to the very beginning: the KSK's aptitude assessment in Calw, with psychological tests, strength and motor-skill drills, and tough physical challenges. He takes on the stations himself – how will he handle the test every soldier must pass before training even begins?

After an injury, Otto returns to the KSK selection process – but the break has left its mark, and "Hell Week" lies ahead. Can he prove, like the candidates, that a setback doesn't have to be the end?
