More than a year has passed since the clandestine bombing of the Nord Stream natural gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea. Yet what really happened in September of 2022 remains as murky as the waters near the seafloor.

Who was behind this act of sabotage? Was it ordered by Russian President Vladimir Putin, or did the US government have something to do with it? Can the people who carried it out be traced to Ukraine? For months, a large team of journalists worked to track down the alleged culprits. They spoke with investigators and researchers while looking into a variety of theories and motives - to find answers to one of the most secret acts of sabotage of our time.

The joint research conducted by the ARD-Hauptstadtstudio, political TV program "Kontraste”, public broadcaster SWR and newspaper "DIE ZEIT” - along with international partners - sheds light on how the attacks were prepared.

    Germans, the mere fact that your Chancellor isn't pursuing an investigation is all you need to know.
  • @evolvnyc
    The only mystery is “what happened to journalism in Germany?”

    "There will be no longer a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it... We will. I promise you, we will be able to do it." Biden (and Scholz), 7 Feb 2022
  • How to say you're a tool of the state without saying you're a tool of the state.
  • @MakerInMotion
    If Russia wanted to stop the gas, they could just close the tap.
  • What were the 'provably false' details in the Seymour Hersh version of events? It would have been useful to point out where he was wrong rather than to blithely assert that his story was wrong.
  • @Argosy16
    DW was so quick to dismiss USA involvement, did not even last a minute😂😂😂😂😂
  • @seahaws1
    Feels so sorry on germans , they knew who blew it but cant say it , poor
  • @Signal_Glow
    Who said "there will be no Nord Stream"? I stopped watching DW a couple of years ago because it felt like insult on our intelligence.
  • @AdamHlavacka
    People, do you remember what happened few days after the bombing of NS? The Russian said that they some technical problems with providing gas to Italy. Remember that? Only few people understood that it was message. A message, that "we do not need to blow up our pipelines. All we need is to say we have technical problems and thats it." It was a message to the whole world that the Russian did not do it. The US and Norway did.
  • @xavier5131
    Everybody know the answer: the one who announced it did it.
  • @familyshare3724
    The comments are more informative than DW's hour documentary.
  • @nandotorres4461
    We investigated ourselves and after presenting evidence in our favor we declared ourselves innocent.
  • You didn't mention anything about NATO exercise were at that exact same place ❗
  • @ticktock479
    Can answer it without even watching the documentary. US wanted to be sure that Germany would not return to Russia for cheap energy.
  • @Brock_Corb
    This will soon be on the History Channel. A 15 part Series where they ultimately end up finding nothing. Just like every Bigfoot documentary
  • @dominusnostrum
    Everyone knows, no matter how hard media hacks try to confuse the issue.
  • @gfhcoalition6631
    I thought DW was of journalism. After this piece, I can hardly believe whatever they say in other documentaries.
  • @MGZetta
    Sleepy Joe: We're gonna stop NS one way or another. Smartest westoids: OMG! Russia destroyed their own pipeline. Germany: Who is pipeline?
