Set three years after the events of Deutschland 83 , the narrative finds Martin Rauch (Jonas Nay) in protective exile in Angola. He is pulled back into the field by his aunt, Lenora Rauch (Maria Schrader), to facilitate a series of shady international arms deals intended to save the bankrupt East German regime. This move transforms the show from a localized spy drama into a globe-trotting caper, with settings ranging from apartheid-era South Africa and Libya to Paris and West Berlin. Core Themes: Comrades and Cash
: Martin, once a naive rookie, now acts with a more cynical "moral compass". He is no longer just a victim of the system but an active participant who must decide how much of his humanity he is willing to sacrifice for a failing state. Production and Aesthetic Deutschland 83 - Season 2
: The HVA (East German foreign intelligence) is shown selling weapons to their ideological enemies, including the South African apartheid government and both sides of the Iran-Iraq war. Set three years after the events of Deutschland
The second season of the Deutschland series, titled Deutschland 86 , shifts from the claustrophobic nuclear paranoia of 1983 to a global stage of moral ambiguity and economic desperation. While the first season focused on the immediate threat of a "hot" war, Deutschland 86 explores the "slow-motion collapse" of the East German state (GDR) as it compromises its ideology for hard currency. Transition to a Global Stage Core Themes: Comrades and Cash : Martin, once
: The show explicitly references real historical practices, such as the sale of blood abroad and the appropriation of antiques from its own citizens, to demonstrate the regime's financial ruin.
The season's central tension lies in the clash between the GDR’s socialist ideals and its pragmatic need for capital. This is highlighted in several ways:
Critically, the season was praised for maintaining its "chic 1980s aesthetic" and its ability to blend "ridiculous and riveting" spy tropes. According to reviewers at Vogue , the show avoids the "sophomore slump" by expanding its scope and budget, offering a "delightfully escapist" experience even while tackling heavy historical themes like the Chernobyl disaster and the AIDS epidemic.

Digital and Analog Wideband Communications Receiver with Dualwatch and Dual Band Recording Functions.
Covering 0.1–3304.999 MHz, the R30 portable receiver gives users the ability to decode multiple digital modes, as well as, traditional analog modes. The large LCD display makes operating the radio a breeze with a new intuitive user interface allowing you to see information from the dual receivers. With dual receive operation, you can simultaneously listen to two signals and record the activity to share the excitement with others. The supplied Li-Ion battery, BP-287, provides almost 8.5 hours of operating time.
The R30 can receive on different bands and different modes. For example, users can monitor HF and UHF signals simultaneously. The R30 also allows users to scan for other active channels on the B band while receiving the main signal on the A band.
Individually record the audio of the two bands received while in the Dualwatch mode onto a microSD card in the WAV format. Play back the recorded audio on the receiver or a PC. In addition, frequency, mode, S-meter reading, time, current position data and altitude can be saved with received audio.
Use a microSD card for data storage. Recording/playback of received audio, RX history log, radio set tings and GPS logger data can all be loaded onto the microSD card.
The R30 scans approximately 200 channels per second in the A band and 150 channels per second in the B band. Quickly find and lock in to a desired signal.
The integrated GPS receiver displays your current position data, course, speed and altitude on the display. Save the GPS data in recorded audio files. The R30 can list up to 50 stations approximately 100 miles from your current location, as long as the station’s position data is programmed in advance in the memory channels.
Remotely control the IC-R30 from your favorite iOS™ and Android™ device.
