Subject: New trivia from germany

Hello, my name is Jens I am a 21 year old Trecker from Germany, who would like to tell you an interesting fact about Star Trek on German television: one episode of the classic series has never been seen on German television because of its Nazi theme. The TV station and Star Trek host Sat.1 (www.sat1.de) and the previous host station ZDF, that brought Star Trek to Germany, still don't want to air the episode, 'Patterns of Force' (Schablonen der Gewalt). It is only available on VHS whith a relatively high rating of ages 12 and above.

The german version of the new Star Trek Motion Picture 'Insurrection' (Der Aufstand) has been rated and they cut several scenes because they were too much for children younger than age 12.
