This series is about the "adventures" and problems of the crew of the East German cargo ship "MS-Fichte" at sea. In the first part, the main engine had a piston jam during a storm at sea, so that the piston had to be removed. Mutual recriminations ensue between the captain, who ordered a higher speed, and the chief, who is against it out of concern for the high fuel consumption and is also said not to have bothered to maintain the engine...

The article explained that the then court martial judge knowingly covered up for the murderers and delayed the trial. At the trial, the testimony of witnesses succeeded in proving the truth of the publication and exposing those behind the murders as those who were preparing fascism.

Enemy secret services from the West had used modern technology for the "cold war", i.e. the confrontation with the Eastern Bloc, and developed a device called COMMINT 3-72. Its nickname was "Radiokiller". This weapon was not much bigger than a soccer and could be easily camouflaged on the territory of the GDR, for example as a fieldstone, the remains of a wall or a lump of earth. These enemy objects were inconspicuous on the outside, but packed with complicated inner workings, i.e. highly sophisticated microelectronics.
