Star Trek Episode Featuring Nazis Airs for the First Time in Germany



The 1968 episode of Star Trek entitled "Patterns of Force" is set in a society modeled after Nazi Germany. Because so many uniforms from the Third Reich are featured in it, the episode was not aired in a Germany still sensitive to anything remotely resembling Nazism. But recently the broadcasting company ZDF concluded that it is time to make that episode available for German Trekkies who have never had the opportunity to watch it. Due to controversial subject matter, broadcasting officials will give it a restricted rating and only air it after 10 PM.

There is still no news about when "Spectre of the Gun" will be permitted in Arizona.
