I see they've got round to putting that riveting
German language TV saga 'Heimat', set in the
Hunsr?ck, on to DVD. The first set runs to 14
hours or so, but it really is hypnotic stuff. My
own German is strictly 'Hochdeutsch', so I
sometimes welcome the subtitles too because the
regional accent is strong here too. I seem to
remember that the post-war episodes have scenes
set in a precision optics firm....but not in
Wetzlar.
