Einem Offiziersanwärter der Bundeswehr zum Beispiel, der von seltsamen Trainingsmethoden berichtet, dem Oberkellner des Hotels Elephant, einem Schiller-Verehrer in kurzen Sporthosen oder einem offenbar leicht wahnsinnigen CDU-Politiker, der erklärt, weshalb Spaghetti mit Tomatensoße das ideale Politiker-Lieblingsgericht ist: "Damit ecken Sie nirgends an - und das Beste ist, die Leute glauben mir, dass ich das selber kochen kann." [G]

For example, an officer cadet in the German Federal Armed Forces giving an account of strange training methods, the head waiter from the Hotel Elephant, an admirer of Schiller clad in short sports trousers or a CDU politician, apparently just a little insane, who explains why spaghetti with tomato sauce is an ideal choice as the favourite dish of a politician: "This doesn't put anyone's back up - and the best thing is that people believe me when I say I can cook it myself."

Statt einfach Wallenstein zu inszenieren, benutzen Helgard Haug und Daniel Wetzel, die beiden Regisseure, Motive aus Schillers Text als eine Art Schlüssel, mit dem sie die unterschiedlichsten Türen in die deutsche Wirklichkeit öffnen - von der Bundeswehr über die Politik bis zum Studio einer Astrologin. [G]

Instead of simply staging Wallenstein, the two directors, Helgard Haug and Daniel Wetzel, use motives from Schiller's text as a type of key with which they open various doors into German reality - ranging from the Federal Armed Forces via politics to an astrologist's studio.

Und das, obwohl sie sich zuvor einer oft als entwürdigend kritisierten Gewissensbefragung hatten unterziehen müssen und obwohl ihr Dienst immer schon länger dauerte als der Grundwehrdienst in der Bundeswehr. [G]

And this despite the fact that they had previously had to undergo what was often criticised as a demeaning interrogation of their beliefs, and although their period of service always lasted longer than the basic military service in the federal armed forces.
