There is a real story behind this series. About how my grandfather Karl Schnick landed in 1942 with a German submarine at the coast of the Mediterranian Sea near the Turkish- Syrian border and organized a caravan to bring technical equipment through Kurdistan to Mount Ararat. At Ararat close to Soviet Armenia he built a radiostation to send and receive messages and to intercept the Soviet radio traffic. He was a spy for German Abwehr, lead by Admiral Canaris
