German show is now must-not-see TV as star's Nazi past revealed
3 days ago
For more than 20 years, Horst Tappert was a beloved television star in Germany. Now, reruns of "Derrick," the hugely popular detective show in which Tappert starred, have been pulled from reruns because of revelations about his Nazi past. According to newly discovered records, Tappert was a member of Adolf Hitler's Waffen SS on the Russian front. German public broadcaster ZDF, which produced 280 episodes between 1974 and 1998, will stop airing the show. Tappert died in 2008, and admitted only to being a medic and being taken prisoner during World War II. As for ZDF's newly opened time slot, they might want to try a season of "Hogan’s Heroes."
