About This Program

is a programme presented as a single episode. It falls within the episode‑type genre and carries the straightforward title that hints at a hidden waterway. The story unfolds against the backdrop of Nazi Germany’s ascent to power. In this climate, authorities revive a canal project that had been left unfinished in East Prussia many years earlier. As the massive waterway begins to take shape once more, doubts arise about the real intention behind its construction. The revived canal is described as a large‑scale engineering effort that had once been abandoned. Its location in East Prussia and its sheer size are highlighted, as is the uncertainty surrounding why the new regime chose to bring it back to life. The programme centres on this ambiguity, prompting viewers to consider whether the canal serves a genuine logistical purpose or something more concealed.
