Nagiko's father was a calligrapher, and when she was a little girl he would write his birthday greetings on her face. Her mother would read aloud from a 1,000-year-old manuscript, The Pillow Book of Sei Shonagon, which dealt among other things with the arts of love. Because children invest their birthdays with enormous importance, it's no wonder that when Nagiko grows up she finds a powerful link between calligraphy, human flesh, poetry, and sexuality.

Since it was first produced in 1979, Israel's Merkava tank has gained a formidable reputation as one of the world's best-protected fighting machines.
Yet, in the summer of 2006, Hezbollah guerrillas in Southern Lebanon shattered this image. In just over a month 49 of Israel's home-produced Merkava tanks – the symbol of the Jewish state's military prowess – were reported damaged or destroyed. It was not only the tank that was damaged, but the myth of Israeli military invincibility so central to the psychological warfare of the Arab-Israeli conflict. The Merkava represents Israel's technological superiority in conventional warfare, but in the new era of guerrilla war, is the Merkava an asset or a liability?

Die erste Hälfte unseres Jahrhunderts, die beiden Weltkriege, die Aufmärsche in Nürnberg und Moskau, die Auftritte Roosevelts und Churchills: überliefert und im Gedächtnis der Generationen verhaftet sind sie in klassischem Schwarz-Weiß. Doch kaum bekannt, in Filmarchiven und privaten Sammlungen verborgen, haben sich auch andere Bilder erhalten. Denn Hitlers Geliebte Eva Braun und des Führers Pilot Hans Hans Baur, Marlene Dietrich und Roosevelts Finanzminister, einige Soldaten der Wehrmacht und die Kameraleute des US-Geheimdienstes OSS hatten eine gemeinsame Passion: Sie filmten Geschichte in Farbe, zum privaten Vergnügen oder zur Dokumentation historischer Ereignisse. SPIEGEL TV zeigt einmalige Ausschnitte: Hitlers legendärer Blitzbesuch im eroberten Paris 1940, seine Treffen mit Mussolini in Berlin und Rom, aber auch Bilder vom Alltag unter dem Hakenkreuz und vom letzten Aufgebot der Wehrmacht im April 1945 an der Oder. Farbaufnahmen aus dem Warschauer Ghetto und von KZ-Häftlingen bei der Zwangsarbeit, von Partisanenerschießungen im besetzten Jugoslawien und von den geheimen Versuchen mit der legendären V2, farbige Bilder von den Invasionen in Nordafrika, Sizilien und in der Normandie.
