Where Freedom Grows
1942, Cologne.
Lene is 16 year old when she falls in love with Erich. Life during the second world war is difficult and Lene feels relieved not to be alone anymore.
But she soon finds out that Erich belongs to an an-ti-nazi group of young people called the Edelweiss Pirates that shares tracts against the current regime and paints walls with anti-Nazi slogan.
A dangerous game that the gestapo will try to stop by all means.
The Shadow Gang Takes Off!
A new case for the Shadow Gang! This time the gang from Berlin take off - and board a zeppelin as stowaways. Something about the trip from Berlin to New York seems strange, though. Some passengers are not the people they claim to be and some have bad things in mind. A mysterious package gets smuggeled on board and somebody goes to great lengths to get it. But this person has not reckoned without the Shadows...
To the productThe Shadow Gang and the Great Conspiracy
The shadows are very busy. Klara works as a waiter in the Black Cat and performs her pickpocket tricks, Otto has to step in for Billy Barrakuda and conduct an important interview. The interviewees are no less than the German Chancellor and Foreign Minister Gustav Stresemann and the kalimbesic King Buhert XVIII. But instead of enjoying the luxurious atmosphere in the posh hotel Adlon, the meeting is quite tricky for Otto. Suddenly shots are fired and he saves the king from a nasty attack. Klara, however, can simply not resist and steals in a variety thick filled wallet. Although purses really are taboo. But when she wants to return the purse, the guest is suddenly gone. While Otto is now the special city leader of the kalimbesic king, Klara's already in trouble: The woman, that accidently saved her from her presecutor, is now found dead. And it looks as if her killer was in search of Klara and the stolen wallet ...
To the productThe Shadow Gang chases the Snatcher
Berlin's winters are cruel and icy. The Shadows need to find a safe place urgently, where they can warm up again. They come across an abandoned villa in Berlin-Charlottenburg which is just perfect for their needs. Unfortunately, the twins who live in the neighboring villa are very curious. But when the two of them disappear overnight and people start talking about their abduction, the Shadow Gang can't stand back. So they begin to search for the twins, risking to get into danger themselves ...
Luckily they can rely on the help of Madame Fatales "Black Cat": Side by side with Master Vanitus and his mysterious contortionist companion, they start their dangerous search for the Snatcher.
